Any information would be appreciated. :)

I just picked up another razor at an antique shop today, a nice looking little wedge. The maker is Joseph Mappin, a Sheffield maker. The model of razor would seem to be ''Mappin's Sun Razor". Does anyone know anything about this maker or the model of razor it's self?

I tried google for about an hour to no avail. :P

Try here. Many brands are listed and Mappins is one of 'em. They are a highly respected marque. Sheffields are all great.

Scanned page from Goins Encyclopedia of Cutlery Markings:

Thanks you both very much. :)

As it turns out, the razor is actually much older than I figured, then. :)

any pictures?

Sorry, I don't have a digital camera. I'll have to get my girlfriend to take a couple pictures of it. Hopefully by Friday I'll throw a couple up. :)
