Thread: Info On My Cooper Brothers Razor ??

I wish I coulda known this guy. a gun maker, cutler, rod and reel maker, scientific instrument maker, edged tool maker, ironmonger, etc ...Thats what we do.

Yes, it would have bn excellent to have known him!

He isn't Scotlands only metallurgical son though. The renowned David Mushet was a Scottish ironmaster - a man of iron, and his son Robert Forrester Mushet achieved just as much with RMS (Robert Mushets Special Steel) that was used over continents for railroads - the Man of Iron begat a Man of Steel.

Regards,
Neil

My dad says when you can see 2 plates of iron fused together with your hand..and see a 360 degree round welded bead...You made something real. Hes a welder. I trust this guy with my life. Hes watching his grandson play baseball near Cooperstown today.

Thanks for all the replies guys


Wow Neil, i could spend weeks reading posts like yours.



Here's a few pictures of the razor:

So as my one says "cooper brothers" would that date it as 1860s ?

Reread Neil's post, #7, Ink, and see if you see what I think I do. Neil is an enigma. Thinks and writes faster than we can read, nor comprehend, and even then, is often way ahead of himself!

Cooper Brothers, no 'Sons'. 1866-1895
