This is my new find from flea market on Saturday. I found this interesting razor from the early 20th century, it has a handle of white bakelite in Art Nouveau style. I am very happy with my new acquisition! :)
Carved Handle --- NICE!!
Looks like ivory!
I would bet ivory too :-) White bakelite from this age would have turn evenly yellow... Google for Scheger lines images and check il all parts if you can see some!
I'm not entirely sure but I think it is still Bakelite! I found traces of engraving and lines that are characteristic of Ivory uneven color and I think I know how he received. I found this piece it was very stained. Surface that is exposed directly to the sun yellow and more that remains in the dirty white!
Of course,I might be wrong .It's difficult to judge from a photo.Anyway,it's stylish.
Are you going to shave with it? :-)
