Frameback Razors: Show, Ask, and Tell.

Very nice !

 

Who is responsible for such great restoration?

 

I finished this one early last year.

 

Very nice job Kevin.

 

OK, I succumbed and removed it from Billy's temptation.
The recent price drop and confirmation from the seller that he'd change to the far less expensive shipping method put me over the edge.

 

Whew, you saved me some money. Thanks

 

That's me, big hearted.

 

Phew..What a Relief for a Kind Heart..

Billy..

 

Two arrived today, from France.
As usual, I know nothing about these, other than what is stamped on them.
Any info on age would be welcome.
Cost $15.99 + $8.71 shipping

Top: Soucille American Express
Bottom: Veritable Broussard Cuillere Qualite Extra

 

Well I can help you, the one razor has wood scales and the other has emerald green. Based on my extensive experience, I would say they are old.

 

Thanks, you're a bevy of useful information.
BTW, the top one is Bakelite.

 

I'm "that" guy! Hahaha

Those razors look like they possess serious restoration potential. Great find @DaltonGang

Here is a posting for a website listing various French cutlery makers and their marks. Hope it's of some use to you.

I have two Wostenholm frame backs.

And two French ones.

 

Magnifique

 

Veritable Boussard - 1790 +

 

It looks like the razor, just different razor manufacturer.

 

A Lot of French SRs & French Hollow Ground Blade SEs are Notoriously Hard to Pin Down..The Exact Same Model Can Often be Seen to be Made by Various Manufactures..

Billy..

 

True. I bought a lot from a seller in France and could only identify 3 of them. The TI's and a Le Minet

 

any sellers of french razors to recommend? only have a modern TI ,but would love some vintages.
