Thread: 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.

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!

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
