Thread: Joseph Elliot stub tail

Joseph Elliot first appeared in the Sheffield directories in 1822 but there are trade advertisements dating to 1795. His corporate mark was granted in 1805. This 13/16 near wedge razor with fancy spine, dating to the 1820's, is restored to its original crocus finish. The original horn scales were broken through the pivot and repaired using 2 steel pins to reinforce the break. The scales were very dry and had lost most of their color. Neatsfoot oil and black dye were used to bring them back to life. The original lead wedge and collars were also used in the restoration.
