    Default Another "Need help determining the age of this razor." thread

    I just can't seem to find information about what time period Geo Wostenholm & Son changed the tang stamping/engraving to this. It seems more modern to me. With this tang stamping and the overall good condition of the razor, I'm guessing it's probably from around the mid 1900s, but purely a guess.

    I'm really green here, so any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks,
    Mike

    It has Sheffield, Eng on the tang...so it is after 1890......
    I'd say around the turn of the century.

    I would say that it's between 1891 and 1910. The barbers notch style seemed to be less prevalent after 1910 from reading newspaper razor advertisements.
