The scales are almost certainly celluloid, not ivory, but veeery nice!

So...how old are we talking for this razor??
After looking into celluloid I am really wondering.

I got so into researching it that I broke down and gave it to him. I was saving it for a special event/night.

Based on the picture, and assuming the scales are original, I would say late 1800's to early early 1900's!
If there is no country of origin on the tang then it was probably made before 1897!

There are no other markings other than the barrel picture and the brand so we are assuming 1885.

Cleaned, honed, new scales and that should make a phenomenal shaver!
