    Nice! Just to clarify, when I wrote that (and a lot of other entries), the date range is very approximate. I hope to include accurate date ranges based on makers, but neither I nor Zak have found much on Taylor, so I wouldn't take that date range as much more than a suggestion.

    Very nice work saving that one.

    I've got his little brother.






    It's but a 6/8 and if the weight is any indication, that thing you have is a BEAST.

    I've handled a lot of Taylor cutlery and owned several knives over the years. They lasted well into the 20th Century. The feeling I get about the two Taylors posted here is 1880's plus or minus ten.

    That razor is so shiny that even the place mat got brighter. Great job!

    Very nice restoration, pretty positive that Wullie razor and the OP razor are from two different makers.
