Stopped by an antique store last week and found a box of about six razors at a reasonable price. Two in particular stuck out:

I knew the first would be a good find based on the blade profile and sure enough, I begin scrubbing the rust off to reveal a stamp:
UNITED STATES RAZOR CO. WARRANTED
Score! [emoji1]

I haven't been able to find much info on the history of United States Razor Co., does anyone have any info? Likewise the frameback I've been searching but can't quite pin down a date. It just says "Sheffield made", but through my research I believe it is a John Watts. Found this thread:

I love learning the history of these old beauties so any help or links would be appreciated. Thanks!
