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.
