I have picked up a couple of them in antique shops to flip. They are among the best of American-made blades. The hardest blade I have ever had is a Geneva that I am working on right now . . . very slow to hone, and actually polished the surface of my Swaty barber's hone. If I ever get a proper edge on it, it should last forever!
Your razor looks like a typical Geneva - a basic, no-frills razor with a very serviceable blade. Hope it works out well for you!!

Looks in very good conditon for what I can see. Get it honed up and you should be set.
American steel straight razors are among the easiest edges and hold their edges well
