Yes, post-1891, and I'd bet that the center mark say's, "Corporate Mark", I've seen those blades before, they're small wedges, I've seen them in square tip however.

Thanks guys, Phrank you are correct in that the center mark say's "Corporate Mark" and it is a wedge style razor. Post 1891 wow that is very cool to find something this old and in this shape! I a bit nervous trying to clean it up as I do not want to loose any of the center mark. There is VERY minor small black spots on the blade itself. Any pointer on how to clean it up would be greatly appreciated? Or do you think it is better to send to someone who is more experienced???

Blimey! What a great find. You'd be lucky to squirrel something like that out of the junk shops over here in the UK. Well done lad!

If you're worried, send it out to have it restored, but that looks like a little metal polish will do wonders, some MAAS or Flitz. They are very nice wedges, the handling of a sports-car and the horsepower of a truck, awesome shavers.

I'd just use some Polish...hone...and enjoy

Looks like you have found some hallowed hunting grounds. PM me the locations and I will help you to keep the secret from the rest of these scoundrels. Glad to help......

Congrats on those finds!!!

Here they are I spent a little bit of time today cleaning them up.

Jeeze I want that king cutter, lucky!
