Thread: Simmons Hardware co. / What do I have?

I've spent several hours looking thru this great site and the internet in general but have come up empty. I have been unable to find another SR like the one I have. So I've decided to create this post.

It was manufactured by the Simmons Hardware co. according to the stamp on the tang. Furthermore, and also according to the tang stamp it was made in the U.S.A. but no city and state is indicated. The last mark on the tang is the numeral "1" which I am assuming is the wedge. On the scales and written in cursive is what I believe are the letters "J.W.C.". I could be wrong on these letter and will post a picture below for you to decide.

The scales are made from some type of metal. They have that unpolished silver look. But could also be a worn brass/bronze.

Is this a Simmons hardware company razor? And approximately when was it made? Also, any other info that you can provide will be greatly appreciated.

As always, thanks in advance!!
