Need info on Edward Barnes & sons Razor (pics)
I just came into possesion as a gift an Edward Barnes & Sons Sheffield ( i assume the last is where it was made?) straight razor and was just looking for some info, like what the handles made of, (dark brownalmost black) and about what years it may be. It has some discolouration that looks like moss that wont come off (after numerous polishes and even a wire wheel and lubricant.) also if there would be any idea on value of these, this isnt in the best condtion with quite a bit of scratches and knicks in the handle. it looks like whomever used this regularly wore a ring and theres a slight wear spot on the handle. any any info would be great! thanks all.
