    Default Maker's Mark ID?

    Hey folks, I was looking through the antique shop this morning and saw a razor with a mark I couldn't identify. In retrospect I should have taken a photo at the time, but I didn't, so here is my artist's rendering in paint. The front side of the tang had only the mark, and the rear side said Sheffield. I passed on it for now, but does anyone know this mark? I attempted to search for a list of Sheffield makers' marks but to no avail.

    Looks like it could be a pipe stamp that is worn a bit.

    Wostenholm Pipe Sheffield would be my guess

    Check this thread and see if his razor has the same mark you have drawn. http://straightrazorpalace.com/works...ml#post1259917

    Thanks for the info, that may well be it. I'll have to give it another glance soon.
