Need more info
Hey guys,
My buddy got an heirloom from his grandmother and I was hoping to help him learn more about it.
If anyone has any info on it that would be helpful!
The tang stamp reads:
H.S King and Sons
Baltimore

Venture to guess it was made for a Baltimore merchant.
Likely by Wade and Butcher of Sheffield. Perhaps another maker?

Unknown maker, but being an expatriated Baltimore boy, I would like to find one like that for myself. Get that thing honed and use it in good health.

First item of a google search say HS King and Sons were "agents and importers of hardware."
So, yes, as suggested already, this is a rebranded razor. This was commonly done by hardware stores.sharptonn likes this.
