An ebay seller had 2 straights for sale. Both were listed as Antique Straight Edge Razor in original case. The pictures were quite small and unless you scrolled down through all the terms and conditions and other stuff that sellers seem to put in their listings these day you would have missed these.
Razor reads ??le? Cut Co, Olean, New York
So I'm guessing that it's something like a Union Cutlery Co from NY. It looks in pretty good condition. Either a 5/8 or 6/8 with a round tip. Minimal hone wear and nothing that a run on a buffer won't fix. Not bad for $4.45
The second razor again had the important info buried deep down in the listing. Razor reads: Wade & Butcher for Barbers use
A Wade and Butcher Barbers Use razor with notch. Again minimal hone wear and a very tidy looking blade. It's got a broken scale but they're easy to replace. It looks a good size blade, probably 7/8. Again, a run on the buffer and I reckon the blade will come up like new. This one was more expensive and cost me $36.
With $5 postage for both razors to my US PO Box, I reckon it's $45.45 well spent.
