Holly Mfg / Lakeville - W&B / Sheffield - Custom Restores

These two are heading home to our very own Rmaldon240

I found some info on the Holly Mfg razor, they were made between 1846 and the 1930's in Lakeville CT...
So she is an American gal according to my info the steel is in near perfect condition and we decided on Streaked Horn with a Faux Ivory wedge
The W&B is their American Razor with the Eagle Etching which we kept intact I gave the steel a light buff and then tumbled her for over a week ... Gold n Ruby acrylic with a Ruby wedge to offset the color

Two beautiful razors brought back to life. When you said that you "tumbled" her; is that the same as tumbling bullet casings to polish them?

Did you happen to snap any before pics? I always enjoy seeing the progression from "restorers dream" to final product.

Double whammy award for my brother G. Beautiful job overall. Love the horn. Robert, the Italian stallion :D, should be very happy.

Both are gorgeous! Great work.

Nice job! Those Holleys are neat and you surely made them classy!

Love the work Glen :tu. You have done it again. GORGEOUS :rock:

Great work once again Glen! Very nice! That gold & ruby acrylic looks super cool.

As usual Glen you just keep hitting home runs!

Absolutely stunning. The Holly in horn is so clean and classy. A nice looker.

Both beauties G ! Interesting to see the Sheffield influence on the U.S. razor.

WOW two great looking peices.

Very beautiful razors, both.
