I got him through Reichard and Scheuber to Yankee to Ever Ready....then all I know is the 1912 was released by Gem, but August had filed that pat back in 1909....I know he had assigned it to Zinn so it belonged to Gem, but he had left Gem with Reichard long before the 1912 came out....
I saw a newspaper article from 1919 about the ASR corp.merger. It had an article where ASR Pres.Joe Kaulfman talks about the success of the $1.00 razor. And it listed all the Executives and the board of Directors, but I didn't see Scheuber's name...Was he still around??
So I don't see any more mention of him after ASR....What happened to possibly the greatest safety razor inventor of all time??

Retirement? He started with the Kampfes so had probably been working 40 years by the merger. He wwas at least in his 60s, maybe 70's by 1919.

I see he got a patent in 1890 for a womans purse latch that he designed while working for Simon Zinn's metal working co....You can tell that this latch was invented by the cat who designed the Gem Junior Bar... But we still don't know how old he would have been in 1890....or what he did after the 1912 made the scene...
