    I have had this old girl for some time.
    I have found nothing really with the same or similar mark.
    Another one that is a bit mysterious to me.
    I thought I had posted it a long time ago but have not been able to find it.
    John Bingham
    with a mark that appears to be an axe? a pipe?
    Old English on the blade.

    Do you have any info on the manufacturer? Don't know if it is correct, but the only info I found on a razor maker with this info was from a 1797 listing and others I have seen from this maker look around the 1790's-1810. From the ones I have seen and judging on the stub tail length and design too. The ones from around 1800-1810 seem to have a little longer tail.

    Harwood & Co was actually a trademark for Harwood, Johnson & Thomas, found in Directories as Merchant of fine cutlery (Lancet, razor etc) on Howard St and later Arundel Street. Their trademark Harwood & co silver mark registered in 1801.

    In 1822 the business name was Harwood & Sons, and later in 1835 as Samuel Harwood & co.
    My guess would be 1800-1810 give or take a few, nevertheless a beautiful razor, Enjoy!
