Thanks Draac,

They sit in my display and draw quite a bit of attention when guests come over ..... I usually get, " So, why do you collect these ? "

I just tell people I like sharp objects, LOL.

"Miller Bro`s" that is a sweet razor. I have never seen one like that, I've seen knives with nudes on them but never a razor. Are they hard to find ?

I picked up a couple of razors the other day. The top one is stamped, "H. Boker& Co." The blade is stamped, "PEARL". The tangs are genuine mother of pearl. needs to have the handle repaired. a piece is mising at the pivot point. Other than that it's a beauty. Original box. Handle has a Boker tree stamped in it.
The bottom one is stamped, "Norvell Shapleigh HDWE Co./ St. Louis on the front of the tang. Stamped "Germany" on the back. The length of the front handle is some sort of a wading bird. No cracks. Great shape. Original box.
I like these old razors but I don't get very msny of them.

STRAIGHT RAZOR HIBBARD SPENCER BARTLETT ART NOUVEAU NUDE LADY

Got this over the weekend on Ebay...I thought it was worth the $40.00 I won it for, It's very unusual.

Description: An art nouveau nude lady w/flowing hair and gown w/background of lily and leaves/etc. Handles are ribbed and reddish colored. Blade is clean but does have oxidation. One spot on handles toward bottom where blade enters looks to have a little wear/discolor - but overall a real pretty nude razor and by a good retailer - Hibbard, Spencer , Bartlett & Co.

Thanks "Miller Bro`s". I saw a similar one in an antique shop and they wanted $89.00. I offered $50.00 by they declined my offer. Seems like these antique shops do not want to bargain anymore. Just as well, this one is nicer and was cheaper.

Draac;
Very Nice, indeed.

I spoke with and traded with a seller/collector of straight razors at the Dalton, Georgia NKCA knife show this past Spring.

He had a display case of razors from many different manufacturers, but they all had multi-color handles like that HSB and several of them had nudes depicted on the handles. He was asking big bucks for the razors in that case, upwards of $400.00 on some.

Not saying your HSB qualifies for that kind of value, but I'd say you need to find out.

Thank you "RobesonsRme.com" for your post. When I meet the right person who knows about these types of razors and their worth, I shall inquire about mine.
