This particular handle shows some remaining silver on fish, red on beak and green on background. This was a very popular handle pattern found in different colors on many different makers blades. Note: About 35 years ago I took a tour of the Shrade Cutlery factory in Ellenville, NY. At that time I mentioned to one of the Senior Management that I had a Shrade razor. He felt that was impossible, as they never produced razors. Evidently, most of their early records were destroyed in a fire. I agreed with him that perhaps they did not manufacture the razors, but there were examples of razors with their name that were, perhaps, manufactured “for” them. I donated a razor with pearl tang scales and a green swirl celluloid handle to their small museum to prove that they existed. Some other makers of this pattern were: Oxford (2), W.H. Morley (2), Simon Pure Cutler Co., Baker, Simmons Hdwe. and Imperial. Desirable handle pattern that can still be found in the marketplace.
