Novelty Cutlery Co. Canton Ohio.

I've been trying to find more information on this straight razor I inherited from my 2nd great-grandfather. He lived between 1886 and 1968 so the razor would have to date to that era. I've attached a photo of the whole knife as well as one of just the blade. Unlike a lot of the Novelty Cutlery Co. knives I can find online, it does not appear to have a mark and the manufacturer is listed on the center of the blade instead. I was curious if anyone could help me identify it better.

The only one with a comparable mark I could find was this ebay listing: https://www.ebay.com/itm/174272972910?m ... olid=10050

According to Goins they were in business 1879-1948. Nice razor and keepsake.

Very cool.
Get that thing honed up, shave ready, and put it to use!

Novelty was one of several companies that offered celluloid picture handles knives and razors. Your razor doesn't have a picture type handle but it does have a very nice inlaid tang meaning that the material used on the razor handle is also used on the blade tang. Nice razor!
