Aberdeen cutler?
I recently aqcuired this razor on e-bay for a few pounds. I`m curious about it because it appears to have come from my home town Aberdeen, and as far as I know there never was any history of razors/cutlery manufactured here.
As you can see it is a fairly ordinary looking item , the only engravings on read : "James Vessie cutler Aberdeen", and "Fine Surgical Steel".
It`s in good condition, a 5/8 blade with what appears to be very little wear and a slight smile.
As I said, I`ve never heard of cutlery from Aberdeen, Scotland, so this made me wonder if it came from the US. Google came up with nothing.
Is it worth restoring? Any of the UK restorers willing to take on the job for me?
