Great seeing these metal and stone scale razors. I've seen MOP on SRP, but I don't remember the last time I saw abalone. Those metal scales are definitely made to last!

Abalone comes up now and then. Maestro Livi was using it on many of his razors. I have one myself.
Excellent! That nicely confirms what I’d found previously, though it does look like your New York razor was reground slightly — that stabilizer doesn’t look original.
Mine also says ‘Independence’ on the pile side. To the best of my knowledge, there are only Philadelphia, Boston, and New York scales.
Likely this one, I could look at it all day rather than use it :-)

I received these 2 for honing today, a pair of Mappin & Webb dressed in Ivory never honed or used quite a rarity.

I'll give you a good price for those Jamie, I'm sure the owner has got them insured...;)
Ohhhh Mark, Mark, Mark!

Hee Hee! Always worth a try Tom! If I was a pro honer I'd find it very hard to send some back!
I can't speak to market rarity, but this one is rare to me and my most unique: Joseph Rodgers "Corporate Mark" razor.
