Hi, Picked this razor up at an antique mall today for 45 CAD, and I am trying to narrow down the date of manufacture a little bit more. I've checked below Boker tang stamp list, but couldn't find mine(with no Solingen).
Any help would be appreciated.
Trying to narrow down the age of this Boker
Re: Trying to narrow down the age of this Boker
I'm not an expert by any means. The tree looks like the one introduced in 1900, and the O doesn't have an umlaut so that puts it before 1932. I'm going to stick my neck out and guess the first decade or so of the 1900s.
It looks to be in real good shape which almost make me want to say it's newer ? Either way I'd definitely add it to my shaving rotation. Nice razor!

No problem, I hope I helped.
Do you shave with a straight razor or is it for collecting only?
