Thread: Help with what to do with this...

I suspect A.B. Arnold may have been a storefront operation somewhere in the early to mid-1900s. It was probably similar to the Frederick J. Birck store shown here on Cooper Square in 1920. I have an F. J. Birck razor and it's kind of cool to see where it was originally sold from. Sorry I can't give you more precise information. If it's important to you, you could contact the New York City Library and they could do a search of city directories from that time and provide you with an address and some dates.

I unpinned this tonight and found some rather interesting numbers on the inside of the scales as I was polishing them. On the inside of each scale are listed, "8/5 37" ... any ideas as to what this indicates? maybe 5/8 blade, year 1937? I think they are Bakelite scales.
