    Question Help identifying razors from antique shop lot purchase.

    Hello.
    I bought lots of razor today and need some help identifying them. Some of the ones I could recognize were:

    6 bokers, 1 Joseph Allen & sons, 1 dame Stoddard & Kendall, 1 Joseph elliot, 3 wade and butcher and 3 Fredrick Reynolds

    Others that I need help with are:
    premier lifetime 330 (Sheffield), Wicawa (Solingen), 100 Eaton, kee products Co. (048 Germany), p.t Co.
    Jonathan crookes (Sheffield), steer and Webster (Sheffield), Wells and Lamee, Alfred Williams (Sheffield), Adolphe Montag (Solingen), James blyde (Sheffield), segean geageah (Sheffield), 69 simsky.

    I will post pictures of the bokers and the wades but can post pics of any of the other ones as requested. I would greatly appreciate any input.

    Best to post pics of individual razors, both sides and good resolution.
    Some of those don't look like they can be saved.

    I can see the W & B in the first pic has a very "crumbly" edge.

    Two of the Bokers in the third pic are, a. honed away and b. chipped.

    Some other, far more experienced forumites than me will be along soon to comment.

    The bokers with the big chip has nice scales. One of the king cutters has broken scales. I was hoping to get one complete razor. The honed away one is pretty much just good as a key chain as the stamp is the only good thing on it.

    The wade with the crumbly edge scales are in tact while the other one of similar size has broken scales. Again Frankenstein these two together. Luckily the big one is in tact.

    I will post some close ups of the bigger mysteries.

    Thanks. The Wicawa is had some really pretty scales however they are cracked and blade damaged bad. I was thinking on using scales to remake smaller "the mab" razor.

    I belive this one to be one of my oldest razors but is in suprisingly good shape.
