Thread: How old are these razors?

I just had a rather fortunate day at the local flea market, and scored a handful of old razors for a song. I was wondering if any of you experts might be able to help me tell how old they are.

Here is the second one:

Here's the third one:

...and the fourth:

...and the final one:

Not too bad for $10, if you ask me.

...any reasonable guesses even?

Well, the W&B is from the 19th century; the lack of country of origin is the indicator. It is either 1890 or 1870 that the law was enacted that required that marking.

The others are most likely early to mid 20th century. Razor design didn't change much, so pinpointing an exact period is more difficult.

I guess they are around the 1890 to 1930 range.

I bet a couple of them turn out to be your best friends.

Well worth the $ 10. Good find.

Most of those will clean-up sweet!

All that for $10 was a steal.
