    Default help with a makers mark

    I have this old razor that I bought a lot to get. I thought it was an old Elliot, it is not. It may be a Wostenholm. What I can read on the mark is
    ____holm_co
    __l house lane
    I have not found much with this lack of info. I know there are those here with great Google Fu and yet other with even better research skills.

    thanks John. I had read that a long time ago. I think that SteelHouseLane is workable in this scenario. So likely Joseph Wostenholm post 1845. Nice. Your Google Fu is strong.

    Dang it, I saw "I need help with makers mark" and I was looking for a shot glass.

    Cool old razor!

    John beat me to it.
    I just saw this & started reading in my Tweedales & came across Joseph Wostenholm & Steelhouse Lane after reading several pages about George Wostenholm!

    Nice shank design. Spine looks too thick for the blade width but better than other way around

    I like that style spine on a blade.............not flat on top.
