    Default 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!

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

    That would be my guess also.

    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.
