Description

ANTIQUE MAHER & GROSH MASTERPIECE STRAIGHT RAZOR TOLEDO STEEL PEARLIZED HANDLE. THIS HAS THE VERY RARE AND HIGHLY VALUED MARBLED HANDLE. THIS MASTERPIECE STYLE IS NOT BAKELITE ETCHED TO LOOK LIKE ETCHED IVORY (SEE PICS)…I BELIEVE THIS TO BE CELLULOID. DOES SMELL LIKE CAMPHOR WHEN RUN UNDER HOT WATER. ALSO LOOKS LIKE CELLULOID PURSES I’VE HAD FOR OTHER SALES, OVER THE YEARS. BEUTIFUL OLD MARBLED PLASTIC. SAYS “MASTERPIECE” ON ONE SIDE OF THE SHANK AND “MAHER & GROSH TOLEDO, OHIO

ON THE OTHER. NO CRACKS IN PLASTIC. STILL VERY BEAUTIFUL AND SHINY. NO CHIPS OUT OF THE FACE, EDGE OR HEEL OF THE RAZOR. THERE IS A RUST PATCH ON THE TOLEDO SIDE. IT’S NOT VERY DEEP. SPECKLING ALONG RAZORS EDGE. SOME RUST ON SPINE.
I HAVE NOT CLEANED, POLISHED OR SHARPENED INSTRUMENT, OTHER THAN DOING THE WATER TEST. BEST LEAVE THAT TO THE PROFESSIONALS. I BELIEVE THIS TO BE 1920’S – 1930’S, BUT I AM NOT AN EXPERT, JUST A COLLECTOR. PLEASE WRITE ME WITH ANY QUESTIONS. 6 INCH ALL TOGETHER.”,
