    A better more complete photo and close ups would help us help you. Cool razor.

    Let us see the tail, that is a good age determination. The markings help also.

    This is just my opinion! That tail became more popular after 1800 and was pretty well standard by the 1820s. The blade style was common early in the 1790's to maybe 1820.
    Lots more information in "Stub Tailed Shavers."

    Enjoy the journey!

    I would say those are centennial razors. Made in a much older-looking style.
    Seems the tail gives it away. 1876?
    Very cool!

    Thank you. I was hoping maybe 1801 or 1826 or 1851?
