Hello from Haigh, Wigan, United Kingdom
Hello everybody !
Just a few lines to introduce myself and explain what I'm doing here.
My name is Andrew White ("Andy") and I'm an Electronics Engineer working in Hindley, near Wigan, in the United Kingdom
I've collected antiques for many years, mainly metal items, but until recently I'd never owned any cut-throat razors.
One of my collecting areas is items associated with my home town of Wigan.
I buy things mainly from the ebay.co.uk site and have just bought a box of six different cut-throat razors, just to get one which is signed by a Wigan ironmonger.
The box is interesting in itself, being leather with embossed details on it, including:-
"Fitted with Josh. Rodgers & Sons Best Cutlery"
None of the razors are signed by Rodgers and the case seems to have been designed to hold seven cased razors - one for each day of the week ?
If anyone's interested, I can post pictures of the case and the razors ?
Kind regards,
Andy
