Hey all,
I purchased a Cole/Hoffritz slant from Goodwill, and I was wondering, based on these images, if anybody has reason to believe it has been modified or is not all original.
Here is what I know:
The only other marking on the razor is under the top plate and it is the number 1.
I spent a bit of time cleaning it up. My suspicion is because it almost looks like somebody maybe painted the handle, and the top assembly of the razor looks unused. I mean not a single scratch on it! I soaked it and scraped off some white residue around the knob and under the head of the razor, and it was very difficult to remove so I'm not sure if it was soap scum.
Anyways, without further ado, here are the pics...
Thanks!
