Got this to go along with my American Razor Co. Straight Razor, I believe they are made by the same company. If my findings are correct "not sure" they were made by American Safety Razor Co.
Good looking razor.
Jerimiah Reichard a former Kampfe employee founded the Gem Cutlery Co. in 1898 and with August Scheubert The Reichrd and Sheubert Manufact Co. It was breifly renamed Yankee wegge/hoe type razor co. and in 1905 it became Ever-ready company.
In 1906 Joe Kaufman was 1st pres. of the new American Safety Razor Co.(ASR) Ever -ready becamr a ASR brand and they abandoned the wedge razor blade and made the single edge razor blade. Around this time GEM Cutlery Co. began selling similar GEM razors.
