My Dad arrived in the USA in New York on Labor Day 1929, a few months before his 18th birthday. These items were in a box of his things. It is time to learn about them while I still can. At age 83, time is no longer 'out of mind.'
I asked Google and it did not find a Henry Sears & Son razor with fancy bolsters like these. Does anyone know what it was called, what years it was in the catalogue? It looks as though the scales are 'synthetic ivory' as they are too uniform to be elephant ivory.
He was using a Gillette safety razor when I first recall seeing him shave. Soon thereafter he was given a gold plated Stahley razor. He dutifully used it for a year or two and went back to another simple Gillette. Unfortunately it disappeared in a move some time in the past.
Thanks for any information anyone can supply.
