Frameback question
Just picked up a frameback yesterday and had a question on the possible maker. There are no markings on the front side of the blade. But on the back side seems to be a name in cursive writing.
The name is faint and hard to see, and looks to say W. Norvek.
Is this the maker?
Where would it be from?
What year/century?
Thanks

No help on The maker, but that's a nice old frame back Mike!

Looks like something very faint on other side. Check with magnifier. As for the script looks like the owner etched his name on it. Good luck.

After a light cleaning with some 0000 steel wool, here's all that I could make out using magnification.

There were at times five or more makers using a variation of the pHeart stamp.

Look on strazors.com. It has the right date and look of George Wostenholm frame back.

I have never shaved with a frame back or even examined one so this restoration will be interesting for me.
