Even though it is a little under 5/8" it is very cool!

I'm definately stoked. I almost bit on a couple others recently but the fleur de lis one is in much better condition and about the same size.

I had a question about jimping. I have seen two no tail razors with no/very little blade & tang definition but with what look like jimps on the bottom. Was anyone doing jimping pre 1800?

Hi, you sure know this page, your razor without tang, plane scales made of bone or ivory and silver or silvered washers is quite comun in the firs years of XIXth century in France, you could see diferent examples like yours here, Dream_Razor

If you don't mind, would you please tell us how much it set you back?

Is the first time, but I can nor undertand....sorry...and google do not help me

What did the razor cost you?

Oh! I habe onli one, not the box, obbiusly, the box is quite expensive...jejejeje...., The one I have is marked wit an A crowned and has tail, another model, but in the rest is the same, I can not remenber, here in Spain razors are sometimes too cheep and sometimes tooo expensives....I do no know hera somebody that collect them. I think this one consted around 10 or 20 euros. Normally I´m not used to pay more. regards

Never posted on this thread before but Ive got a number of stub-tails..
Ill start with my best
Got these in the mail in a Lot. A Gray Cast Steel. Dont know much about this manufacturer.
And this strange little corn cutter??? It is made by Kippax. Kippax died in 1775 I believe and then his son was making razors with Nowill (Nowill & Kippax). So I think this little beauty is from 1775 or before. But I dont know for sure.
Anybody have any ideas? Seen one of these before?
I was so excited to see that both these blades are in such great condition!
Thanks for looking!

Here are some I dug out. I don't know if all belong here but I do think the first two do.

It is hard to make out the mark but to me appears to be like a pick axe with a star.




This next one I can't make out but i'm sure someone with better eyesight can. I need a new eye exam & new RX lenses.





This one appears to be an I. Barber but it might have been made after the early 1800's
