Any information?

i find this blade inside my old razor's. it does have ivory handles and name says

CRANSWICK 59 PICCADILLY
any idea about this blade guys?
thank you

I believe that is "59 Piccadilly", which would be an address in Piccadilly, London. :D

you are right it is 59 ,my mistake

I think a trip to London is now justified, right? You need to look up that maker, AND you could pick up a Devonshire Oilstone while you're at it! :tu

I would love to go London. Unfortunately so many things to do in here .I open my eyes and close month already gone and haven't done anything yet. One day i will go London ,Brazil i love their beaches. etc.will stop in here.

Take me with ya Sham, you can send me into the caves and mines looking for rocks for ya. :)

Hi Sham,

W. H. Wells, a jeweller, had the premises at 59 Piccadilly in 1868 - they were then occupied by Thomas Cranswick in 1873. Interestingly, he took a man called Louis Loyen to the Old Bailey Court in 1887 for stealing three articles (unspecified) from his shop, for which Loyen received 15 months hard labour and a fine of £50. Amongst other things, hard labour could involve hard physical work in quarries - could be interesting if you had a penchant for stones!

Regards,
Neil
