Here is a Hall from later in that period. Notice the heel and tang. Hall went out of business in 1830. So, I would guess, and have seen in the Razor Book, that your razors fit the earlier ( pre-1800) period that you are wanting; Flat short tail and no heel. Heel came in, according to the books I found, about 1800±10.

Thanks, She was my first of the period and a really nice shaver. All others I have found are, unfortunately so far, only blades to rescale. None with the no-heel and flat tang.
Now back to the 1700s Show.

Thanks for starting this thread and thanks to all posting pics. I am fascinated with history and would love to purchase a pre-1800 straight. I'll be watching this thread.

Don't worry to much about the lack of tail or thin spine Even with my big hands I was able to NOT cut myself with this one.
ER is all thats left of any kind of writing on this blade and it's a duplicate look to my Clark & Hall, so I'm thinking it's from a similar maker around the same time frame.Last edited by DwarvenChef; 11-30-2010 at 10:42 PM. Reason: Added Pt 2 link as Pt 1 seems to be goofy...
