This is another ebay prize that came today. It's 7/8 or so with a spanish point. Cleanup was easy and its shiny enough for me;)-anybody have an idea when it may have been manufactured? Pictured before and after a quick cleanup and a fast polish with .5 diamond paste.http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b3...338/wbold2.jpghttp://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b3...8/wbold003.jpg
O.K. so where'd the hone wear go?How did you do it?
I can still see it. I don't think it went anywhere. All in the camera angles.Quote:

Most likely made in 1840/50(possibly as early as 1830's) as a wedge,and reground into a concave grind in 1870/80.that was very common,and accounts for the large barbers notch,and some of the trademark lettering ground away.They make very nice/very smooth shaving shavers,I have a few posted on my web site,and a lot of them unrestored,but in very nice condition.
