There is a frameback club known as "The Frameback Fanciers"! It just got off the ground today!

I believe you have this backwards The solid ones came first, around 1850 or so! The two piece variety started around 1870 or 1880.
I should state that this information is based on known manufacture dates of both styles of razor and information received from Gary aka Traveller! If anyone else has some solid information on this subject, I would appreciate hearing about it!
