It was my grand fathers, possiblly great grand fathers.I can not find any information about it. On it, it says; "OUR BEST" then below that it says; "M. SELLER & CO." then below that, PORTLAND, ORE It is silver in color, flower with leafs on each end, then some type of symble in the middle. The writting is on the handle of the blade itself.. My family has a very long history in Oregon and I am not really looking to sell it, just find out more about it. If you can share some information with me, I would greatly appericate it. Thank you for your time. I recieved an old straight razor. It was my grand fathers, possiblly great grand fathers.I can not find any information about it.

Even if was fifty bucks for one, it would pay off in a few years. Reminds me of the sci-fi novel where the hero had to make a quick escape and realized: "Damn, I lost my razor! I've had that since I started shaving!" Cheers -- MrG / http://www.vectorsite.net I’m waiting for the day when diamond-film coated razors are available. Even if was fifty
