I hope the picture is clear enough. It is stamped really deep so it survived the restoration intact.


It was advertised as a Joseph Rodgers so I thought it just belonged to a mason sometime. Wayne D recognized it as a John Barber.

To be honest, I suspect the smith was a mason because I don't see anyone else using the square and compass as a trademark.
But then again since he made razors from 1810 to 1836, I guess we'll never know.
