Here's a pretty. Never had a bevel set.


Box is as nice as I've seen.


Few pepper spots here and there.

That's a great one Willie. And falls right into your area of interest.

Wullie,
Nice!
That stamp is sweet. Makes you wonder about those crappy Challenge stamps you see. That etch on the blade looks deep!

Wow!!!
That is really nice, Willie.
The box looks newer than the razor, if thats possible.

That one is as clean as a whistle

Thanks,

IF I read the history of Challenge Razor Works correctly they only used that mark from 1892-1898. Then they started marking everything Challenge Cutlery Corp.

I figured just by looking at it and the box that it was probably 1920's. Figured wrong again.

Willie, that's as nice a plain black handled razor as I've ever seen.

Do you think the tang might actually be etched, like the blade, instead of stamped?

Beautiful old razor, with what I bet is a fairly rare mark in just superb condition. A prize, for sure.

Thanks Charlie, I think the tang is etched.

The full size pic shows it a lot better than that one but it sure looks more like an etch than a stamp to me.

Absolutely beautiful, Willie.
What a find for a Challenge enthusiast.
