Mine, which i have since sold originally said diamond on the blade but that's all i could make out and then sanded it off.
Nice graphic on the blade.
Congrats!

Nice score! It looks like it's in excellent condition!
I am always fascinated by these razors that are stamped with old company names of yesteryear. It was probably once sold at a department store like Morgan's or Eaton's. Back in the day when you could also buy pipes, tobacco and other gentlemanly accoutrements all at one place.

Very nice razor, L. B. LTD stands for Lewis Brothers Limited an hardware company based in Montreal, founded by Frederic Orr-Lewis in 1889.
And a picture of their building in Montreal.
As to who manufactured the razor that very difficult to find unless it is sometimes marked as well.
