    That, I'm pretty sure, would've been Joseph's brother.

    That would be very nice!

    Sadly Joseph Hall isn't found in "Hallamshire cutlers - Eric Youle", at least I didn't find him...
    So, could very well be!

    In the apprentice list in Volume II of Leader's History:

    Joseph Hall, born to Jonathan Hall of Dove House, Cutler (deceased), apprenticed to Georgius Smith, Cutler in 1779, freed 1789. Which is the year he was let Thomas Bromley's Queen mark.

    I see, indeed! I believe though John Hall (F1781) most probably was the son of John, Sharrow Moor, cutler, in that case John & Johnathan weren't brothers, but maybe related in another way

    Nice subject to dig into!

    There are entirely too many Halls!

    At least the later Marmaduke had a really good and distinctive name.

    oh man i LOVE old razors. This one is the pride and joy for my collection. Right now getting "touched up" by someone who can hone better than me locally. (I miss it already). Early 1800's W. GREAVES

    P.S: I'm always on the lookout for old razors if anyone has any information on acquiring any. They're just SO much more comfortable to shave with, to me. My goal is to find something from the 1700's for my rotation.
