Guess the size of this Torrey

Sorry for this crappy photo guys. This is an old J.R. Torrey blade that I just snagged off the bay. I'm hoping its a little bigger than 5/8.

What size do you think it is? Take a stab fellows!

I'll let y'all know the exact measurements and post pics when it comes. Thanks.

I would guess at least 6/8 and possibly larger. That is a very nice find.

Ditto in what Bob said

13/16.
Just throwing a number out.

Thanks guys. Sounds right. I've been searching to find pictures of one like it that has been documented.

Looks like 13/16 to me, maybe 7/8..

Here is the one that I had and it was a 7/8 at the toe and tapered to about 13/16 at the heel if I remember correctly. One thing that I do remember about it was that it was a fantastic shaver even if it was bigger than I like.

Oh that'd be lovely.

:D that is stunning smith. There aren't many photos online of that model. Maybe you could enter it in our library database???

I have the same Bocker like the one in the pic, your Torrey is 6/8 or 7/8.

If I knew how to add it to the library I would.

Yeah. It looks dead even betwixt 13/16 and 7/8 looking at what is below the tang. Nice blade.

I am sort of partial to gorillas. Been using the screaming ape for long time.

I saw that one on ebay. My guess would be between 13/16 and 7/8.

Thanks for all of the input and positive feedback.

Hey mainaman, how do you like that Boker? Mine needs some TLC. No doubt.

13/16
99% sure..:shrug:

It's 3/8. Pic's been photoshopped.

Send it to me, I'll dispose of that toothpick properly. :p

I figure everybody is pretty much dead on and MR SMITH, THAT is a gorgeous razor!

This ol a Torrey arrived today. It measures 13/16 dead on. I'm happy with my purchase and am looking forward to getting it polished and rescaled.

I agree that it is looking like it is around 6/8, maybe 13/16.

Very nice find. Congratulations!

I should never have doubted myself that 1% LOL :tu

Follow up of OP:

I wanted to share these pictures of how my 13/16 Torrey now looks after some work by Mark Yundt. He dressed it with black horn with an ivory wedge and inlaid silver liners. It was exactly the high class look that I was searching for. Check out the before pics above and in the original post on page 1.

Absolutely gorgeous, the finish on that horn is astounding.
