Straight razor. Antoni Tadross Germany. This company is known for producing some of the finest colorful figural celluloid handle patterns. This one is a great example. Incised patterns are rare to begin with. But, this one has great color and is a handle pattern I have not encountered before. The blade is fully etched with a floral pattern. It is also unusual for a maker to provide a fancy blade with a fancy handle. It was usually, one or the other. This celluloid Handle is quite rare. It is not in the book "Celluloid Handle Guide for Straight Razor Collectors Reflecting on Fifty Years of Handle Designs (1870-1920)" By Robert A. Doyle. This is the only one of this pattern I have seen.
