Straight Razor. ACME. A very nice figural die cast aluminum handle with a winged goddess on a winged wheel with scroll on the front and FAULTLESS and a small alligator raised on the pile side with raised scroll. Figural die cast aluminum handled straight razors are quite rare as aluminum was a new and expensive alloy at the time these Art Nouveau razors were popular. This would have been the top of their line for this maker.

Straight Razor. SKIDMORE WARRANTED. C-1810. Very rare “select horn handle. This Handle material is the rarest that you will find in an early Razor. I have witnessed only a few, including the folding straight razor carried by the Duke of Marlborough. All that I have encountered over the past 50 years, I kept. You will search for many years and most likely will never find one. I do not know why this "select horn" is so rare. It must have been extremely hard to find this kind of grain on a single horn. See images for damage.
