I tracked it down through the Library function on the tool bar. I went to "Razors" then "Categories" and found 2 entries for Hargreaves. The entry entitled "Hargreaves...Imperial" is the one I cited for the 1880-1890 date. Just wanted to try and clarify this for all of us. I'm sure Manah could probably recall from rote the correct dates for this razor -- from what I've read from and about him, he's the MAN!
