Thread: "Dip-at-toe" stubtails 18th century

It's not an anchor, it's a crown

Thanks a lot!

Seems like Richard Staniland wasn't that well known. I cannot find much but his adress and occupation.

It's already a good thing to find it in a directory

posting this here, hoping to get some inputs, I hope this is ok (let me know otherwise):

opinion on this one: https://www.ebay.ca/itm/Vintage-Earl...cAAOSwq2Nd5W5O

1. I want to try and do this myself, not sure how hard it is for a newbie like me
2. What's up with the shape? The heel looks like someone grounded it as a way to overcome a "heel hook", but the toe is weird too, is that normal, it's not a straight line - the spine is longer than the edge.
3. I KNOW I've seen that mark somewhere, I'd wager it's english (purely based on the fact that if I remember it, it's more likely to be english)...but just can't put my finger on it.

Star - tomahawk - 7: this punch has already been seen but never identified.
However we can see on this razor an inscription almost erased above which could give clues to the great specialists of this forum

I see, yea prbly saw this on here then. Also: DANG IT someone nabbed it.

Please forgive the thread breaking😔 has anyone heard of "Holbem&Co" waranted? I can't find anything... 2 pictures, that's it😒. Any ideas?

No idea I'm afraid...

Thank You Fikira,
Knowing your history in this group it pleases me to have one that stumps a senior member. I've only found 2 pictures in 4 years of researching this maker, as well as ( for the time being) the hall of cuttlers. I wished there was a more comprehensive book with the makers marks out there because I believe it would change the face of the straight collecting world.

So how do I PM people on here😕
