My First Straight Razor
Posted: Tue Aug 25, 2015 7:52 pm
Well, lately I have been looking for a straight razor. I want to start using one but my first straight razor is more of a collectible, for me.
For a long time now I have collected Case XX knives and also western movie stars autographs. I have lots of 1950-Current Western movie stars autographs.
What I didn't have was a Case XX razor so that is what I was browsing through last night. Well I stumbled upon something that tied the two collections together perfectly. I found an auction that is being ran by John Hart's long time agent and friend. John Hart played the Lone Ranger for a while. I have Clayton Moore's autograph which is obviously who most people associate the Lone Ranger as.
In this auction is a Case XX straight razor owned by John Hart along with a letter from his wife stating that it was in fact his. It also comes with a personal check that John Hart wrote out signed by Mr. Hart and a certificate of authenticity.
I felt it was priced good enough for me to snatch it up as another autograph for my western collection, another Case XX for my collection and my first straight razor.
I don't know nor am I too concerned about monetary value of this razor. I just wanted it. That said if anyone can give me any info on the actual razor I would appreciate it. These are all the pics I have for now till it comes in but maybe they will help someone with more knowledge than I, to be able to tell me more about it.
Here are a few photos from the auction.
