I'm inclined to agree with the timeline but I have no other info. Sorry. Very nice looker and seems to be serviceable :)
These are my stubbies! the first one is a George Johnson.. i say its from 1815 (it has a really cool etching from one of the original period owners that says 1834) and the other is a J. Elliot i say from the 1830s.. what yall think?

I'd tend to lean on the earlier end of that scale due to how the thumb notch is made but not much earlier thanks to the length of the tail. It's all rather vague though, and I'm not exactly a seasoned expert in these matters.
two of those look like the ones i was bidding for on ebay......
nice score!
I know, it looks familiar :)
Used to be Magpie's but now it's mine! The tankard is from the 1830's, the charger from 1764 and the Wade & Butcher from sometime in the early 1800's. As Magpie said, it does shave great!
beautiful! love these blades!Quote:
