Thanked: 4Looked at every antique shop within an hour (that i could find)
Ok, so today i looked at every antique shop within an hour from bristol, TN (or at least every one that i could find). the story was the same in almost every place, either priced WAY to high (like 150 for a case and sons with some rust on blade) or we dont have any left, a guy came in and bought them a week or two ago
but anyways, here is what i did find.
the first is a (this is what is written on tang)
W H. Moreley and Sons
Clover Brand
Germany
The second has written on it:
best silver steel
solingen
written on scales is 'Spezial" (supposed to be special?)
the last is a gillete adjustable safety of some sort, they had a box that they seemed to be trying to just clean out so i bought it.
anyways, this is what i found, if anyone knows more than i do about any of these (i know very little) please, feel free to share, i am always looking for more information on my razors
I can post more pics on requestLast edited by crazyengineer; 05-08-2011 at 03:22 AM.

These are all quite nice finds, so congrats!
The "SPEZIAL" is probably an Ernst Klopp...The DE looks like a Gillete Extra Long handle Black Beauty. Pretty nice stuff!Last edited by porridgeorange; 05-08-2011 at 03:20 AM.

Thanked: 1Really like the scales on that morley! I've got one as my daily shaver. Your scales are way cooler than mine.

Thanked: 70The Gillette is a Super Adjustable. It should date from 1968 to 1975 or so. They went to a plastic baseplate after that.

Thanked: 70No, that one doesn't.
It should have a letter and number on the bottom. Example: O3

Scales of W H. Moreley & son is beautiful. Just checked my razors, I also have one without producers name, only "best silver steel solingen". Scales not original, nothing written there. I don't shave with it now, but tried it and it was a good shaver.
