    Default 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:

    • 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?
