Karl, if you're correct in that interpretation of Clavichord's conclusion than that would make these hones I have pre 1888. I have a hard time with that. Not that it isn't possible but I just don't think it is probable. I got my short one in Kearny, NJ in the '80s from an old Newark barber (in his 70s) He had an extra besides the one he routinely carried in the pocket of his barber's smock. I know that he wasn't into antiques and assume he had bought his from a barber supply salesman somewhere along the way.
Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.
