    Default Hibbard Spencer Bartlett and Co

    Could any of you fine folks help identify the year of production of this blade, I just picked it up at a flea market for $5 and feel kinda good about it.

    As you will see in the picture it has The Improved Rattler on the blade and Hibbard, Spencer over Bartlett and Co on the tang, on the other side it is numbered 365.

    Any input would be grand

    This is old known company. The owners were William G. Hibbard, Franklin F. Spencer and A. C. Bartlett.
    Impossible to say the exact year, the first part of the 20th century.

    I just picked this Hibbard Spencer Bartlett "May Flower" razor at a local flea market. It has a great design along the spine and cool inlays on the scales as well. Anyone have any experience with May Flowers?
