Okay, this settles it. Once I get my two back from Gentleman's Den I am posting pics of ALL my W&B blades. They need to play with friends.

Is there a good way to date W&B razors? I picked up several last weekend at the Covered Bridge Festival in Indiana. Pictures to follow as soon as I get them all sorted out!

1830-37 square point. The scales are wood from a French razor, added to the blade recently.

Hello Ya'll. Just got my first W&B. Like every previous poster, I'm gonna scour the internets trying to date this one. No blade etching I can discern through the patina. The scales, to my limited knowledge, appear to be horn. It's the embellishments that are new to me. Anyone seen these before?
To deobfuscate is to convert something that is difficult to un͝d̡͝e҉͞r̴͝st̨̕a͘͢n̢̛d̕̕ ̧͝
into one that is simple, understandable and straightforward.

It is a pre 1891 or it would say Sheffield, England on it. That would be a nice one to restore. I have one just like it or similar.
