Kampfe, Another what did I buy thread.

[Slivovitz]

Well, what did I just buy?

Didn't notice this one until fairly late in the bidding process, and couldn't find much in the interval. Eventually decided to take a chance. It's not much like the pictures I've seen of Kampfe Stars, and indeed has no stars on it. Don't know what the seller's reason for dating it 1920s is, but he may well be right. Can't even tell if that's an SE blade with it, or some kind of thin wedge blade. Can't tell if it will take a modern SE blade, or how firmly that thing on the back would hold it in place.

A lot of unanswered questions, but as I said, I took a chance. Opinions? Information?

1913, 1914 i think, and it does take a SE blade.

D.Irving79 probably has it right -- this stuff is right up his alley.

That is a real nice razor there!

Thanks, both of you. Hopefully I'll be shaving with it in a week or so, then.

What a second half in the Super Bowl, or is that OT?
