Thread: Romo?

I did a search, but couldn't find anything about this maker. Anybody have any input or can point me to a wiki or something about Romo? Thanks.

Did you buy one? Do you have a picture?

He'll probably repost pics here, but here's a link to another post I remembered he did a couple of days ago with the pics. Forget the top post and scroll down to the bottom.

Found Grandpa's razor in the storage unit for my Xmas present!

Looks like it should be a fine razor. No info but that doesnt mean anything. I have many that are not unlisted.

There are five different "Romo's" listed in Goins' Encyclopedia of Cutlery Markings. All are associated with Rosenbaum & Mogal or M. Mogal. You have to be more specific. What markings are on the razor? I have the good fortune to have a ROMO "High Class", gold plated. Goins' shows it c 1917-1920 with the New York trademark used by Rosenbaum & Mogal. With more information you may be able to narrow your razor down to a specific period.

Good call Sir Stropalot, that's the one. I don't want to clog the thread with pics, so the link will work fine.

It says "30 Romo" on one side of the blade, and Solingen, Germany on the other side. A link to the pics is listed a few posts up from here.

Unfortunately, the "30 ROMO" isn't listed. As nicknbleeding mentions above, many are not listed in the historical references. However, now you know that it's manufactured by Rosenbaum & Mogul or M. Mogul and it's not pre 1917. Not a lot of info but more than you started with.
