1826 to 1850!

+1 on that 1826 - 1850 though may have been a little later as the firm was then sold to B J Eyre who probably used up existing blade stock and kept the old marks for a while to 'ease in' production. I'd guess 1850. BTW I do believe it was 1816, not 1826 as the firm included '& sons' post 1816. Hope this helps!

(PS see an even earlier one here - http://www.theinvisibleedge.co.uk/co...ghtrazors.html

1826 for Sheaf works!

Thanks JMS I stand corrected - Sheaf Works was built 1823 - 1826 (so this piece could have been 1825 I guess!) but wups I missed that one!

I was going to say the same thing
1850s or earlier.

Nice looking wedge. Definitely worth the 10$.
I have a 7/8 greaves in my resto pile, but it needs much more work than this one.

Looks 1830's to 1840's to me.

well, just thought I'd add to what has already been said. Looks to me to be early 1840's to early 1850's
