    Default Ivory scaled wedges

    Thought I would share a couple of recent acquisitions with ya'll as I'm quite excited. I recently bought a 7 razors and two strops from a lady who was cleaning out her late uncles stuff. She offered the 7+2 to me for $105.
    In it were these two, 3 very nice Bengalls, one Henckels and one other I can't remember. The two Ivory scaled ones are:
    - a 3/4" Joseph Rogers, round point with "Universally Approved, Fine India Steel" stamped on the blade. Also, the spine has a very nice scallop on the front half. It's in great shape apart from some very light pitting and the ink spot on the front scale. Any suggestions on how I might be able to remove this without damaging the scales?
    The second is a 3/4" James Barlow and Son(s) slight barbers notch(?) with fancy Ivory scales.
    Both are manufactured in Sheffield and I am familiar with the J. Rogers but not with the Barlow.
    The Ivory on the Barlow is in much worse condition and has both of the tips at the pivot end broken and the pivot pin is quite rusted.

    Both are heavy wedges and I can't wait to shave with them.
    Also would appreciate any info you might have on approximate dates of manufacture.

    Thanks in advance.
