    Default Test your knowledge!!! Razor I.D. sought...

    I have been consistently impressed by the knowledge on this forum, down to the finest of details, and am hoping to get some help to identify the maker of a couple of razors that I have picked up recently.
    So this should be a real test for those of you who have a knowledge of Sheffield made razors, and it would really make my day to find out if a risky purchase has payed off.
    The inscription says that they have been made for a company in Sydney, Australia, called W. JNO Baker Ltd of 3 Hunter Street. There is no manufacturers name however, either on the razor or the boxes, and the only other clue I can see is the pattern on the plainer of the two razors. The other side of both razors has only the inscription "Made in Sheffield".
    Good luck!!!

    I am not speaking from knowledge I have, but my best guess and suspicions scream out Cadman, the same people responsible for Bengal razors! If this is the case then you did real good!

    Thanks JMS!
    That sounds like a good fit. I have been picking up a few razors recently from the New Zealand version of ebay - Trademe - and a couple have been Cadman's.
    I take it that Bengall's are well thought of then?!!
    Good to know.
    Cheers,
    Andrew
