A club for those unmarked razors that need attention as well :)
I'm sure I'm not the only one that has a few razors that deifies being identified. Be they unmarked or stamps that go nowhere.
Maybe even have a chance to ID some of these blades from their exposure :)
The top one looks like a W&B that just sold on ebay, Item number:200476753353, here. I wanted him but the spirit was willing that the wallet is weak. The stub tails frequently have undecipherable nomenclature IME. Nice pair.
I have seen Greaves and Joesph Elliot razors that closely match the first one. The second looks like a Roberts Warranted that I have, but I have seen many old razors that look like that one.
Man, too many in both of those styles to really KNOW who made them! It will probably remain a mystery- which isn't a bad thing!
These are the only things I got to go on lol Narrows it down to somewhere on this planet :p These may never be ID's but I don't care :p they are great razors :)
I just thought it would be a cool club for those that don't have a club of their own :p
I think this one might have been a Geneva...
Aha ! I have one that belongs to this club ! I though it was a Boker, but alas !!

It says "MBC special" on one side of the tang, & "Made in Solignen Germany" on the other, and "426" is also stamped.
Can't wait to hone it & give it a try.
Hey DC -- sorry I missed this thread.
Just won a razor like the first one you posted. One of my first heavy wedges and I just need to finish pinning it and honing it before use. Gonna post some before/after pics eventually, but for now here's the eBay image (item: 220610729902):

Pressed horn scales that say Geo. Savage & Sons -- after unpinning it my amateur opinion is that these scales are original to the razor. Also got a decent Pipe and a tiny Temperite in the auction to boot.
Oh dear you unpinned the Savage? Savages are quite rare, as the company only existed for a few brief years in the 1840's. I have never seen one in pressed horn scales, indeed I have seen only a handful of their razors and have had only three in my possession. Temperites are something of a mystery to me - I know some were made by Case, but I had one that said something to the extent of Forged in England or some such and did not have any stamping by Case; perhaps a transfer of trademarks?
The Case says "25 | Temperite | Trade Mark" on the front of the tang, and on the rear it says "Made In U.S.A. | By Case". But this is a discussion for another thread. :)Quote:

Here's a teaser to amend my previous picture taken from eBay -- tang was unmarked before I did anything to it:
