I doubt that these are worth anything, but they're pretty cool!My grandmother picked these up at a yard sale for $3 each. They were owned by the father of a friend. For a little perspective, that friend died several years ago at about 70, so they are quite old. They were really dirty but some steel wool and wd-40 fixed that up. They're about as dull as can be, which is a good thing, because i would be tempted to use one. I'm 15 and really don't need to shave very often but straight razors are just plain cool! Do you think there would be a chance that at least one of these would be usable again? Here are the razors. Im not quite sure of how old they are or anything about the companies, so any info you may have, like dates, is awesome! Thanks!

This is the one with what i think is celluloid handles. On the blade, it says; Ontario Cutlery Co, Geneva N.Y. U.S.A. It still has a pretty full blade.

Now the other one i got is in rougher shape. It has black composite handles with RAF scratched in one side and the blade is pretty worn away. This one had markings on both sides of the blade. One one side it says; Great American Razor Co. Chicago, and the other side says K and K Razor. I thought that k and k may satnd for Keen Kutter which was around for a little while in the early 1900's, and was located in chicago for a while, but the the AND is wierd. Keen and Kutter Isn't right. Anyhow, here's the other one!

Thanks for checking them out!
 
You may some day decide to use one of these for trimming your sideburns. The first one would need a lot of work but the others could be saved with enough effort.
