The Union razors available now are made in China and are not of better quality than the Gold Dollar. The one I have is early 20th century and made in Atlanta (or at least marketed from there). It is far better than a $12 razor. I think the person who sold it to me (as part of a 2-razor auction) did not know what it was.

Ohhh, big difference. I used to live in northwest Atlanta. Union City is southwest, not too far.

I looked online and people postulate they were made in Union City, with the blanks possibly coming from a machine factory in the city. I got married at one of the machine factories (an event venue, now) called King Plow, but I didn't see any reference to that place in regards to razors.

It’s a well made razor with good steel and good balance. Helluva razor for $12 😁
