ANOTHER MINOR VARIANT?
I recently acquired one of these. But as you see, mine differs from the other examples being discussed here in several ways:
(Pic from eBay)
- Celluloid scales: *sigh* I'll probably restore them
- The spine is more gracile, and there is no imprint
- The etch on the blade is different, just:
Geo Wostenholm & Sons
Doubly Carbonized IXL Razor - The imprint on the spine's show side lacks an outline, and reads:
G.WOSTENHOLM & SONS
* S H E F F I E L D *
DOUBLY CARBONIZED I·XL RAZOR - The imprint on the back of the spine has the outline, and reads:
REGISTERED 10SEP
I·XL
1850 No2434 - The blade measures (from the back of the spine) 6/8ths near the toe, and 11/16ths toward the heel
Does a variant such as this one warrant an entry in the database?Last edited by Dzanda; 03-22-2014 at 02:53 AM. Reason: Fix picture
