Killer blade. You need to be shaving with that beauty. Welcome to SRP by the way ........ someone will be along to tell you when the maker lived and died, what he ate for lunch ...... ;)
Indeed a beauty, a certain Washington fellow own a Gratian, http://straightrazorpalace.com/razor...an-1900-a.html
The trademark Gratian belongs to Jonathan Hall,Sheffield, England, 1795- 1835 plus or minus a few.

That's about all the info ive found. Tried contacting the museum. Also saw a list once online, that I think was of blade makers in Sheffield during certain time periods.
My grandmothers maiden name is Hall. Seems fitting.
From this thread,http://straightrazorpalace.com/razor...r-help-id.html with the same razor! But the info is from Goins i believed!
The dating for Hall is Goins and the trademark picture from Gales and Martin, and Why do you ask?
Appericate the help fellas. I had seen that article before didn't realize it had the blademakers name on it. It is the same razor.
