<p>Views of the razor:</p> [[image:RelianceRazorPileWeb.jpg|600px]] <p style="width: 25%">The text on the Tang reads:<br><b>Birck & Zamminer<br>New York<br>M.I. Germany</b></p> <p> </p> <p>Other side:</p> [[image:RelianceRazorFrontWeb.jpg|600px]] <p style="width: 25%">Here, the text on the Tang reads:<br><b>Reliance</b></p> <p> </p> <p>Given that the firm of [[Birck & Zamminer]] identifies itself as being in New York on the tang, but that the tang is further stamped <b>M.I. Germany</b>, this author's guess is that the blade or perhaps the entire razor was made in Germany for the New York firm of Birck & Zamminer. The most information on the firm a Google search returns is [http://jeffpeachey.wordpress.com/2009/02/24/unidentified-knife/ a blog post on a peculiar knife of unidentified purpose made by the first of the firm's partners, Fred Birck.] Other search results are most commonly for expired eBay auctions for the same razor.
