A cute little wedge number here.. 9/16ths (14mm) .. The Horn scales are 6" long..
I like the house number on the tang ..
It seemed to like my Maruka..
Cheers

Looks good!

That is some fancy etching on the blade. Very crisp too.

What date would you guess it was made?

Yes very pretty

I would guess 1870 ish..
From what i can figure it must be "Chris Johnson & Co .They have an interesting history but i cannot find them at the 657 address..(Could be a shop address)?

Have a look at this video.. 33.15 mins, for razor making..

I wonder if there was a shirt & tie dress code or that was just for this video.. I feel a lot better knowing my items were made by well dressed people. No joke.
