Item History & Price
| Reference Number: Avaluer:28745727 | Country/Region of Manufacture: United Kingdom |
| Model: Empire 7-day set | Brand: Wilkison Sword Company |
This exquisite razor set was my father-in-law's. He is the only owner. It includes one removable wedge blade straight razor with a two-part handle, one safety razor, 7 blades individually marked by days of the week, and a leather strop and clasp. It dates to 1941 and is in remarkably good condition, including the leather strop, but the leather case shows considerable wear.
This razor set was the personal property of Alfred Kohl who lived in Cleveland, Ohio. He worked as an acc...ountant with the Newspaper Enterprise Association in Cleveland where he spent his entire 45-year career.
For those who like a little history, Wilkinson Sword Company began to diversify1898 from the exclusive manufacture of precision sword blades. In 1930, it introduced what would become one of its most successful brands---the Empire Razor Set series which featured self-stropping. Each of the blades bore the familiar crossed swords logo. The Empire sets were manufactured until 1952.
