Thank you Gary. I am as well as can be expected my friend. I hope you are doing fine as well. You have an awesome collection man. I love seeing your examples. You have done well sir.
About that Japanese Old Type clone. A fellow here referred me to a gentleman a long time ago so I could learn more about the razor. I believe he was some sort of executive for a firm in Japan. Well respected by all accounts. He tried to explain the pictograms as a logo, but did confirm it was Japanese. I can see why it could appear as a logo, but those pictograms seem way too complex and intricate to be simple logos. There seems to be a lot of content there for it to be a simple logo. I don’t recall him telling me an exact date or even a decade this razor was made, but I am inclined to believe this is a wartime razor intended for a civilian market somewhere. All that having been said, could those pictograms have been coded instructions or commands to a yet undetermined group of Japanese somewhere?
During WWII, even America used unconventional solutions for covert activities. Navaho code talkers, mock up tiny paratroopers that were similar to a child’s toy, an aircraft carrier made of ice, etc etc.
I wonder what I really have here. It just seems odd those “logo” have so much to them.
Anyway, thanks for the compliment. And the wave
