John Stanley Boston 7/8 wedge
I've always liked American steel. I picked this off eBay last week. More and more I've been gravitating to wedges for a shave, I didn't have a razor with a double finger notches in the tang and a whole laundry list of reasons why I thought I should have this razor.
Anyway I have not found any information on this manufacturer. Does anyone have anything on this maker?
It's going to take a bit to clean this up but the pitting seems to be shallow (I hope) and it has no hone wear and appears to have never been sharpened. Sadly the etching on the show face is very faint and I doubt it can be saved. It says 'Boston Steel'. Scales are horn, brass pins and collars and the wedge is integral with the scales. They're in great shape with no bug bites.
