    Default Hello! Might have a noob question.

    Hi!
    I found a piece of history in my grandma's attic. I can't identify any brand on it but from what my grandma told me it originates in the 1800's since it belonged to her grandfather. It looks like someone tried to sharpen it knife-like and I doubt it can cut bread right now, let alone hair.
    My question is if anyone can identify the brand, if it can be restored and if it has any value.
    I don't know if you can see it in the pictures since my camera is pretty bad but the brand's name has been erased with time, everything that's left out of it's name is half of the first letter (looking like either the lower half of an "S" or the left part of an "R") and the last letter (which looks like either an 'n' or an 'u'). Below the brand name it says 'C-69'. Thanks to whoever takes his time to look at them!

    The tang shape is not 1800, it's more early 1900 like.
    It's gone, no way to restore it

    well most likely it is gone but it could be a 3/8 or 4/8 which although small and often used more for hair shaping they will often shave just fine.

    enjoy,

    Be just and fear not.
