Anyone help me ID-date this razor?
I purchased this from an antique shop and had it honed. It shaves pretty well. I have found the "Galvanic" name associated with JBF Champlin and Cattaraugus. But I can't find out which manufacturing name would be associated with this razor. I understand the JBF Champlin name (and later adding "& sons") was changed to Cattaraugus in 1886. So any ideas as to the approximate date of my razor? Cattaraugus went out of business in 1963 so that narrows it down a bit.:) If I can get enough info I would like to add it to WIKI SR database.

Some of the unique characteristics I really like about this razor are the cut-outs on the scales and the coated spine. Someone epoxied the scales at one of the rivets but it seems to be holding well. I figure they will come apart during a shave sometime in the future but I hope not.
