    Hi, I just joined this group as I am trying to learn all I can about these razors - my ggg grandparents and beyond owned this business. Anyone who would like to learn more about this company might like to track down a copy of "Three Centuries of Sheffield Steel, The Story of a Family Business" by Sidney pollard. Thanks for the interesting photos everyone!

    Gentlemen,
    I just purchased a Marsh and Bros. etched with an eagle, "Epuribus Unum", and Pond works on the shank. Interestingly, my ancestry and razor hobbies crossed and I found a link to razor manufacturers in Sheffield in 1834. You will notice all of the Big Boys and some of the Little are all here. I will post pics of the blade as soon as I get home.

    GENUKI: Sheffield Directory of Trades and Professions for 1834

    Scroll down to the razor manufacturer bit and you will also notice they double up for different items produced throughout the list

    I bid on this and (obviously) lost it. Still haunts me. Personally I think it was one of the prettiest things I've seen on the Bay all year. Glad to see it went to a good home!
