Thanked: 9Grabbed 3 new old razors, and would like to expand my knowlege of them.
Group pic:
The top one is a Torrey... There's a nick in the blade, but I should be able to work it out.
TORREY RAZOR CO
Worcester, Massachusetts
ca 1858 - 1963
The second is another Greaves... Different stamps then my first though, so I'm not sure what time period it would come from.
The last says 'Old English' on the spine, and 'Packwood' in the shank. I really know nothing about its history. The scales have shrunk considerably, and the blade is either near wedge, or quarter ground.
Both the Greaves and the Old English are going to need some new scales. Guess I'm going to have to break out the table saw soon enough.
Also, I paid $50 for the three of em. I know they need some work, but I LIKE my big, heavy blades! So, how'd I do?
