Hey buggie, nice razor. Check the books to find date of manufacture. i dont know much about Challange cutlery. Nice looking razor. Value depends on who your trying to sell to, knife collectors would probably just put it up to admire. Razor collectors-users would probably want it shave ready or usable condition. So value can be all over the place. What you got in mind?

THANKS,UMC!!!
I CHECKED ALL MY BOOKS....NOT MUCH ON RAZORS BUT A FEW CASEXX UNITS........

NOT SURE, HAD IN MIND TO FLIP/TRADE IT FOR SURE, I HAVE NO USE FOR IT
JUST KNEW A GOOD BRAND/MAKER AND GOOD CONDITION,EVEN THO WRONG BOX.

IF ANY INTEREST.....SHOOT ME A OFFER ERRR TRADE OFFER....YA NEVER KNOW

Are you sure it is stainless and not nickel silver? I have a medical kit that has a nickel silver handled razor in it.Allows the razor to be sterilized in an autoclave without damaging the handles.

I THINK YER RIGHT,AS USUAL MA FRIEND!
THANKS

That Geneva Cutlery box is probably worth something to a Case collector as Genco was purchased by Case in the mid 1930's

Challenge Cutlery Co. is post 1899 to when they went under in '27-'28.

1891-1899 was Challenge Razor Works.

That's a nice one.

As a rule, on ebay Challenge doesn't bring BIG bucks.

What ya lookin for on a trade?
