Hi every one I need help this identification of this twins. Thanks.

Can't help you with the ID, but those are some sweet and unusual looking razors.

Is that.... ivory?

And they appear different than anything I've ever seen. The one that says Torry almost sounds like an import before Torreys were made in the US...

I'll look them up in Goins later. Beyond that I'm stumped, and more than a little jealous of just how beautiful those are.

 

[ryrelav]

Yes it is ivory, also it very good condition.

 

[ryrelav]

So any help?

 

[professorchaos]

Nope, never heard of it and a google search on "Gillet & Torry" reveals little. Nice looking blades, though.

 

[ryrelav]

I add few more pics with UV lamp. Something missing first later it is not G & second one not I. ??????

 

[syzygy]

Wow, that is a really interesting pair of razors! Nice find!

 

[leighton]

You've rediscovered the origins of Gillette!!!!!

 

[ryrelav]

I would hazard a guess that these are razors from the same maker, probably from Sheffield, and they were made as showpieces. The fact that one is struck with a US retailer name and the other doubtless includes the word 'Cheapside' (London) would suggest that they are retailers pieces, possibly sold-on by the firm whose name is on the scales.

Makes no difference though - nice razors!
