Description:
This razor was made of brass and plated in silver or gold, with a long-thread cap and fixed handle.

Notes of Interest:
This razor was sold in many different cases, including Richwood, Bostonian, etc. Most examples had an argyle-pattern knob, while some had a diamond-pattern matching the handle. It is unclear whether the diamond variation correlates with early serial numbers or not.
