Categories:
Cased Matched Pair of Mother of Pearl handled JOHN HEIFFOR 3 PARADISE SQUARE SHEFFIELD” Straight Razors. The handles are solid one piece pearl not reinforced as the pearl is heavy and solid. The heavy wedge blades are ornately worked along the top. The oval embossed leather presentation case has a monogrammed metal escutcheon plate with a reclining lion. Note the inventory number of 1348 on the blades indicating that they were from the Henry T. Lummus Collection. Note: Lummus assembled his massive collection before 1920. Lummus wrote articles on straight Razor Collecting for "Antiques" magazine in the 1920's. (I bought his 500 piece collection from his Estate over 40 years ago.) Another 500+ examples of his collection are currently on display at the Shelburne Museum in Vermont. There are approximately 500 more examples that have not surfaced as yet. This grouping was put on consignment with a NYC Dealer for sale by Lummus before he passed away in the 1940’s.
