    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?

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!
    MikeT.

    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
