Wostenholm Pipe Superb Info Request
Hello SRP!
I recently purchased a Wostenholm Superb Pipe and was wondering if anyone had any info on how to nail down the date of manufacture.
The front of the tang reads "SUPERB (Pipe logo)" and the back reads Geo. Wostenholm & Son, Sheffield England. It came with a box that had Liverpool on one end.
Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks very much!Last edited by Matt1222; 04-25-2017 at 01:53 AM.

Difficult without a photo. Wosty made razors for a couple of hundred years or so. A photo of the razor open displaying the blade and scales, a shot of the tang stamp as well would be best.
Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

The inclusion of 'England' on the stamp indicates post-1891, anything else is hard to say without pictures of the razor.
