Posted this in the "What Are You Working On?" thread but I figured I'd put a couple of pics here also.

Thank you kind sir. All four of the collars are still intact and the horn is in better shape than I would have expected but I feel quite sure that it's still original.
Really? 1830 to 1840 huh? I knew they made them after he died (1820 I believe) but I didn't know that much later. I still have some reading to do about old Mr Packwood.JOB15 likes this.Iron by iron is sharpened, And a man sharpens the face of his friend. PR 27:17

I've had these for some years now. The blades were waxed and wrapped in plastic when i received them.
The scales are beyond words. Perfect to this day. I wish i could meet the craftsmen who made them and get some knowledge.
Background information on the maker is hard to come by unless it is Benjamin Shepherd assuming is not George.
The case reads "Superior Razors" True.
The pictures do not do the razors justice but i've been meaning to post these for some time..
Thanks

Just so you know, what you posted is not a stub tail straight razor. Look at the other stub tails posted in this thread to see the differences especially the shape of the tail.

Yuppers, not a stub tail by a long sight. In fact it looks remarkably like this RSO (Razor Shaped Object) made by the C. H. Ina Company----
