Torrey question for you experts
I just bought a five dollar torrey razor that has a makers mark unlike any of my other three torreys. The mark looks like the one in the pic above. Does anybody have any idea about what this mark is, or what it means? Thanks guys.Geezer likes this.

I really like Torrey Razors. This stamp was just different than my other ones. Thanks for the info.

They used different stamps as they went along.
Torrey was a strop-making outfit before going with razors.
As I understand, Turner made the early ones for them while in Connecticut under contract before pulling-up and moving to Mass to run the company.
I feel certain this is one of those..
