    Swaty 3 line (I think)


    The Swaty, Boker, and SSA are gifts from my friend's mom.
    Waiting on 5 more straights (2 union cutlery, a chipped Kama I'll try to fix, a Heljestrand 31, and an Engels)

    Nice scores. I just rounded off the tip of a King Kutter that had an almost identical chip and it is fine. no after picture yet as it is in the tumbler cleaning up right now

    'Old Tippecanoe' was the 9th Presidents nickname...William Henry Harrison, who died in 1841. Maybe this was a commemorative to that event and may date the razor to 1842-1850? William Henry Harrison - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    It is a definite possibility that the razor was made in 1840. "Tippecanoe and Tyler Too" was an election slogan. President Tyler died a month after his inauguration, from pneumonia contracted during his 90 minute inaugural address, which took place outdoors in the snow. From Wikipedia....

    A slogan from the presidential election of 1840. “Tippecanoe” was the Whig presidential candidate William Henry Harrison, a hero of the Battle of Tippecanoe in 1811. John Tyler was the vice presidential candidate.
