    Default New Member - Hello

    Hi I am Lee -
    I have joined as I have found in my dads shed what I thought was a knife - He just recently passed away 5 months after my mom -
    I have o do a clean out and its very difficult - however I have come across some items I want to keep -
    As I looked more carefully I saw it was an old razor-
    But no idea the date and if its been modified - as I can fine none like it excpt for the blade.
    Its a Joseph Elliot.. anyone fialry familiar with this brand?

    Hi Lee,

    Greetings from another newbie.

    According to the information here, it could be from one of two makers, probably the second:

    ELLIOT, JOSEPH
    Sheffield
    Trademark: C reversed and C, with cross between
    1821-1854 ("More Old Razors" by Lummus. Antiques, May 1927 p.372-374)

    JOSEPH ELLIOTT (ELIOT) & SONS
    Hollis Croft, Sheffield
    ca. 1795 to present

    Welcome to SRP!

    As mentioned, pictures of the razor would help in identifying it.
