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?

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.

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?
