Antique straight razor. "Theo A Kochs Co Chicago" is impressed on one side of the blade near the hinge, and "Henry Martin Hamburg Made in Germany" is impressed on the other side. The blade shows minor surface wear. The is a short blade style. The length of the metal portion of the razor is just 4 3/4". The off white handle has a scrolled pattern at the bottom. I see no chips or cracks. In closed position, the length with handle measures approx. 6 1/2".
My razors are from collec...tor's estates. I do remove surface soiling on the cases, but I do not restore, polish or sharpen the blades. That's not my area of expertise, so rather than damage the patina, I leave that to the future owner of the razor.
