Thread: Joseph Hollinger razor?

Just got my first straight razor, it is stamped Joseph Hollinger New York and the inside of the scales are stamped A.W. The blade is 6/8" wide and total lengt of the blade is almost 6".

I would like to know if anyone knows how old this could be and any other informatio about this razor, I have searched this forum and internet without luck. I would also like to know if this would be considered a half hollow ground. See attached pictures.

Thanks

Nice looking razor, and looks like it is ready to deal with the toughest whiskers! I love heavy 6/8 blades.
Goins' Encyclopedia of Cutlery Markings has this to say: "JOSEPH HOLLINGER c 1919-1926. This importer and jobber was at 169 Canal Street, New York City."
I hope this information was useful.
