Any info on my straight
Hello, I bought a straight for the first time about a week ago. I have been DE shaving for a couple of years now. Since I am Hispanic, i tend to get more ingrowns than alot more people and DEs have helped alot. I moved to my first straight, a Wm. Elliott & Co. #19. I think its in pretty good condition, I am just wondering if anyone has any info on it. I am trying to replace the scale since it was broken when it arrived, but i found out that i need to know the size of the blade. Any help would be appreciated.

Sorry can't help with id but it sure will look nice when cleaned up
Can't see the scale damage in the pics
But superglue (CA glue) can hold horn if only crackedSaved,
to shave another day.

Goin's Encyclopedia of Cutlery Markings doesn't contain any detailed notes on it, but does give dates:
WM. Elliot & Co. Made in Germany c 1880-1918
So, pretty safe to say the razor you have was made at some point within that 38-year time frame.
