So here we go. tThe first one is marked"ANDREW COLUMBUS, COLUMBUS BARBER COLLEGE, COLUMBUS OHIO" on one side and "WESTER BROS, ANCHOR BRAND, MADE IN GERMANY" on the other.

I sell very few straight razors anymore myself, they do not seem to bring the money they deserve for some reason. I sold one on eBay that had a nude woman bathing under a waterfall on its handle. I put it on there with a low starting bid thinking it would take care of its self, BAD MISTAKE! I would like to have that one back. I think they will come back into their own in the near future though. Sorry the pictures ware not a bit better, sort of got in a hurry taking them, in a lazy mode this evening.

I like them well enough, but I do not go out of my way to look for them. Looks like you picked up some pretty nice ones. I believe the ones with figures on the handles are the more desirable, but i am also sure that the names of certain ones are real bell ringers as well. < Message edited by L C -- 6/11/2007 1:55:01 AM > (in reply to huffmnd) Post #: 11
