    Default Help ID new Stub razor

    Hi, so today after lunch I stopped in at a local antique store. Found that they had a new selection of razors. All were pretty old. One caught my eye because:
    A) it was a wedge
    B) it had ivory scales

    It looked to be in good shape except that the scale on the back side was missing a big chunk. Will see if I can get a restorer to replace it for me.

    The price was right at $25 so I picked it up.

    On the way back to the office I noticed something.. it was a stub tail!

    Scales are mostly straight. Thick tang.. its an old one for sure.

    The only stamp that I can see on the tang says "Silver Steel"

    So I have no idea who made it. Hoping someone might recognize it or be able to narrow down when it was made.

    My uneducated guess was 1820's but look forward to hearing from others.
