Nice looking razor.
I can't clearly see the brand on the razor but its overall condition looks good.
If it were mine I would not hesitate to hone it and shave with it.
The scales might be ivory but I can't tell for sure.
I don't beleive I have a 200 year old razor but I have several that are about 150 years old and they shave very very well after a good honing and some time on the leather strop.

Jordan is very good Sheffield blade, Roberto. This one looks as ivory and in fine condition. A great shaver!

I have one of his blades made in Solingen. It's too pretty to use and I prefer a heavier blade.
He also made knives.

YES! He was the English cutler who came to the U.S. and then went back! St. Louis?
Oh...I just saw Wullie's link!
Roberto. A close pic of the tang, Please? That must be English made. Turn of century?
Wullie! Your avatar is making me have bad dreams!

Not BIG enough. Pass on that one and put the Ivory scales on the Mappin.
