Original Solingen, Germany — c.1960–1975
This is an original vintage Credo Élegance Hornhaut-Hobel (corn and callus cutter) manufactured in Solingen, West Germany during Credo’s golden mid-century production era.
Crafted from forged Solingen steel, this professional pedicure instrument was designed to safely plane corns and hardened callus skin while maintaining smooth control and precision. The tool features its original light tan molded handle with raised Credo branding, and the cutter head is factory-stamped CREDO and Made in Germany, confirming authentic West German manufacture.
Included is the original removable stainless steel rasp/file for smoothing treated areas — still present and intact — making this a complete, fully functional set.
Original Packaging
The cutter is housed in its original Credo Élegance retail box, featuring the iconic teal-and-cream mid-century European graphic design with script “Élegance” branding, Solingen quality seal, and multilingual labeling (German, English, French, Italian). This packaging style was used prior to barcode packaging and plastic blister cards, placing it firmly in the 1960s–early 1970s.
Condition
Excellent vintage condition. Clean, bright steel with no corrosion. Handle remains solid with clear molded branding. Box shows light age-appropriate wear but remains structurally sound and fully displayable.
