Sieger Bakelite Razor Blade Sharpener sewing Honor Cross of the WorldThis is an original Bakelite razor sharpener made by Sieger. It is in working order, but there is a little fraying on the pull cord, and it could use a cleaning. They did produce these for several years after the war also but generally those are clearly postwar marked. This one only has the pre war to war time era markings. There is a possibility it could be early post war, but there is no way to ascertain that.
