    Default A diamond in the rough.

    I had to fly to Chicago last night for a funeral today. After the funeral I had some time to kill and went into a shop in the suburbs. I zeroed in on this display and my heart went pity-pat when I saw the Stub tail.

    I like these old ones so I bought it. It is a Broomhead Acier Fondu (cast steel) razor from the late 1700's-early 1800's.


    I'm hopeful someone can tell me more about this one. Is it Sheffield for the French market?
    Any info is appreciated as I have searched both this site and Google and have not been able to find much. Thanks.
