    Hi all,
    I hope someone can tell me more about this razor.
    I know very little about these but thought for $10.00 it was a good deal.
    The blade has the stamp Van Camp Hdwe & Iron Co. And under it made in Germany. Etched in the blade very faint is the word Raola.
    Every one i have found so far though also has Indianapolis Indiana stamped, but this doesn't?

    It's possible that Van Camp had a German company making razors for them while maintaining a manufacturing facility in Indianapolis, hence why some would be marked one way or the other.
