J.Rose !!! Who is this guy ?
I am expecting this razor to arrive in the next few weeks from a friend in the US, it says J.Rose only.... I shall post more pics when it arrives, but maybe you can tell something out of these.
Custom ? Vintage ? Or maybe just a junk ?

Just a guess, but I think the blade looks vintage Sheffield to me with custom scales and washers.

However, I haven't seen a J.Rose before.

It is just a left field guess on my part as to where the blade came from and could easily be wrong. Regardless the blade looks good in the photo to me. There are other members more knowledgeable than me and I am sure they will pipe up shortly.

It could be the 'Jacob Rose Co.' circa 1880, 23 Gardner Street Springfield, Mass.

I found William Rose in my Sheffield Directory from Tweedale for 1851 but it has very little information on him & does not mention if he had a son. Wolfpack is probably correct with his suggestion.

Yes, could be too. The blades made in that area during that time followed the Sheffield form closely from what I have seen. Originally Posted by Wolfpack34

You're right Bob. A lot of the early Massachusetts cutlers ( Torrey, Worcester, etc.) were transplanted 'Sheffielders'. Connecticut as well. Originally Posted by BobH

Yes, my Thomas Turner SR from that area sure shows his Sheffield background. Fine shaver too. Originally Posted by Wolfpack34
