Thread: Joseph Smith & Sons - Celebrated Razor 3415

So I Picked up this "junker" for $13 guy said it was used for civil war reenactment. Ends up its a Joseph Smith & Sons - Celebrated Razor 3415

I unpinned, cleaned polished the blade and scales. I still need to hone it up and re-pin for a shave. I want to keep the original scales on it but they have horn rot or something that I cant seem to get rid of ? They also look like someone along the way tried to repair the wedge end. I also gave this razor a satin finish on the blade.

Can someone tell me the date of this razor?
The scales also say 'The old english razor".

Here are some bad pics, sorry they are from a cell phone.
