    ELLIOT, JOSEPH
    Sheffield
    Trademark: C reversed and C, with cross between
    1821-1854 ("More Old Razors" by Lummus. Antiques, May 1927 p.372-374)
    JOSEPH ELLIOTT (ELIOT) & SONS
    Hollis Croft, Sheffield
    ca. 1795 to present


    It is probably somewhere in the mid-1800's range. Worth? Depends on a lot of factors, mainly size, style, and condition (of lots of different aspects of the razor). Do you have a picture? Really, if it looks like most blades from that time period, it is probably worth whatever people would be willing to pay for it. I may be interested in buying if it is beat up and ready to be restored!
