Old Razor Handle Cutting Die

Post by johnburrell »

This is an old cutting die used to cut razor handles at BURRELL CUTLERY in 1940's. It was all rusted after going through two floods and a fire.

I’m not Wullie, but I think it’s pretty awesome! What types of materials would that have been used to cut?

Very cool piece! Waht would be the cut handle length?
If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.

btrwtr, the handle would be approximately 5 1/8”. Colonel26, most razor handles were celluloid during the 1940’s I believe. I took several pictures after I got it cleaned up a bit.

That’s what I was assuming, but I wanted it straight, lol. Very cool old piece.
