Here's a Wostenholm Pipe razor, I haven't seen another quite like it:

Nice leather and wood coffin box which I believe is period correct for the razor, and so could even be original.
I estimate this one to be about 1850, what does the board think?
Sadly, as you may be able to see, there is a problem, the tail has either been broken or shortened, and is only 3/4" from the pin the the end of the tail. I'm planning a restoration/repair on the tail, any suggestions gratefully received. Any pictures of a similar razor with a complete tail also gratefully received!
I guess all Wosty's have merit here, and are my favorite.
So here's my line up

Wow Mike! That is a neat one. what kind of grind is that?
Nice line up Mike...I have some pipe blades some where....I will light a torch and venture the catacombs ..

Im not sure what its called. The upper half is hollow ground, while the lower half is like a rattler.
