I was looking for what I read about Sears. Early on he was an importer. From what I have read once the company name changed to Henry Sears and Son in 1883 they were manufacturing the razors here. At least that is what remember. I'll keep trying to find it.

Here is the largest J.R. Torrey I've come across. Unfortunately I had to remove about 3/32" due to a chip but it still measures 7/8ths.
