Here is another vintage model with little information on it; Thomas Mfg Co. was based in Dayton Ohio. When I researched the company I found out that they moved from Springfield and operated in Dayton from 1907-1911.  Historically many buisnesses bought razors from well known maker and had a name stamped onto it to sell as their own (yes, rebranding is certainly not new) One can rest easy in knowing there was really not a bad manufacturer like we have plenty off today, they were all good, and some exceptionally so. I am yet to find a razor that won't sharpen or keep an edge well. 

The razor has a half hollow grind, the height is 5/8 and the cutting edge is around 68 mm long. It has a square tip that we muted a fraction, the celluloid scales are firm and fairly straight with a blade that centers nicely. The pinning looks neat, with one that is slightly recessed, but the blade is still nice and firm, so it is doing its job. The blade had lots of rust and some left dark stains, so we darkened the blade to mask the flaws and give it that well used metal appearance. The razor weighs 41 grams.

*Vintage razors are priced according to model and availability, time spent cleaning and reconditioning them, and also time spent getting the edge into a shave ready condition (some are preserved as is, or sold as is for the new owner to sharpen) Please enquire if you need additional work done to this razor prior to purchase.

All straight razors will require a stropping on leather after its first use. Pics are unedited (for detail) and provide a true image of the condition of the razor.
