    Default Clark & Osborn

    Clark & Osborn was established in about 1821. Marmaduke Clark and Samuel Osborn both died in 1832. The sovereign stamp GR dates to the reign of King George 1820 -1830. A 6/8 near wedge blade with an arris spine and 'Patent Temper' stamped on the show face. The tang has both upper and lower jimps and is restored in a glazed finish. Bone scales at .075 thickness were made in a period correct style with a black horn wedge and nickel silver fancy flower collars from Austin Kennedy..

    That razor is just gorgeous, Karl-The contrast between the blade faces and the spine/tang is in perfect harmony with the bone and that simple black wedge. You are an artist!

    Stunning restoration. I love the contrasting finishes on the blade faces.
