    Back to the original question asked by the OP:

    I believe it would probably be a "Benjamin Huntsman" razor from around ca. 1740...The first narrow-bladed folding straight razors were first listed by a Sheffield, England manufacturer in 1680. By 1740, Benjamin Huntsman was making straight razors complete with decorated handles and hollow-ground blades made from cast steel, using a process he himself invented.

    Either that or an Egyptian Bronze Age razor from around 1600BC....
