Genuine vintage straight-edge razor from the early-to-mid 20th century, marked \"The Palmer Chicago 21\" on the blade tang—likely a promotional piece tied to Chicago\'s iconic Palmer House Hotel. Distributed by the historic Alfred J. Krank Co. of St. Paul, MN (a premier cutler and barber supplier active since the 1880s), this razor comes complete with its original matching wooden \"coffin\" case stamped \"Krank\'s 99\" and \"Made in Germany
** Good Condition ** See Pictures ** This unrestored razor shows honest signs of normal use and storage: light surface pitting and corrosion spots on the carbon steel blade (mostly near the edge/spine, typical for vintage carbon steel), some hone wear lines, and overall patina on the blade and black celluloid scales (minor scratches/marks but no cracks, chips, or breaks). The original wooden Krank\'s 99 case has faded stamping, scratches, dirt, and age-appropriate wear but is structurally sound with no splits or missing parts. No major damage—blade is intact and could be professionally honed to shave-ready. Please review all photos for exact details; sold as-is, no returns.
