These are two hard to find old (Balloon Whittlers); got the pearl today.

It is a Torrey; I assume early 1900's; due to all long pulls? The stag is marked The Ralph Brown Co., San Francisco; the company burned in the 1906 earthquake. I Googled it; and found an old newspaper article; but in repeated attempts haven't been able to find it again.

The book I have states
"Torrey, J.R. Razor Co. -Worcester, MA -1858-1963

The Ralph Brown Co. - San Fran. -1910
Which would be pretty hard to do if it went down in `06

Nice lookin oldies!

Torrey razors are plentiful; but Torrey pocketknives are hard to find; I'll find one every now and then. I have 5 different patterns now; and have found a couple more; that I hope to acquire.

The Ralph Brown; I have never seen another one; it's a rare bird.
