    I think we need Manah's help on Joseph Wostenholm & Sons razors. The EBRO trademark was used by both J. Wostenholm & Sons and Adolf Castor, just to make the issue even more confusing. I have two Joseph Wostenholm & Sons razors, which are both marked with EBRO between 2 Maltese crosses, and "Perseverance Works". Your razor is marked with "Paris Works", and looks like it could be much older than mine. By the way, yours is a very nice looking razor and I am sure it can be honed up to make a great shaver.
    My information came from two sources: sites listed below.

    JOSEPH WOSTENHOLM & SONS,
    Perseverance Works
