Up for bid is a vintage English “Bengall” straight razor
with a striped celluloid handle. The piece is 6 inches long when closed, and
the steel is 5 1/2 inches long. The
handle is an unusual mixed yellow and brown striped celluloid. The blade is marked “BENGALL” and “MADE IN /
ENGLAND” on opposite sides, with a “W” stamped on the tail. The piece comes in the bottom half of an old fabric-covered
paper box.
Condition on the razor is fairly good. There are a couple of surface rust spots and
normal signs of use. An unusual old razor!
