Is there any way to ID this razor?
I picked this razor up today while out running errands. I picked up a couple other goodies (not straight razors) along with it. I'd seen it before and hemmed and hawed over it. No idea what it is or if it's worth a dime as a shaver, hence my posting it here. Can you guys help me out?
I hope you guys can give me some info, and it does turn out to be a good shaver...it would be my first and only round point razor (all my others are square points).
P.S. The big spot of discoloration on the front is from a price sticker.

Sterling Company, Baltimore, MD - Straight Razor made in the USA
So this will settle the Sterling Razor case. There was a Sterling Company in Baltimore, Maryland. I got mine for very little on the bay. I was the only bidder. It had some surface rust spots but looked like a worthy newbie restoration project. Some sanding and polishing, finishing with 2000 and jeweler's rogue, brought out a real beauty. It is a nice 6/8. Handle looks like bakelite and only needed a rag and some plastic polish to come back to life. No, I didn't take the scales apart. I keep breaking them when I do that. After sharpening with Norton 4000, King 6000, Chinese natural 12k w slurry, Chinese natural 12k w/o slurry and some black Dovo on balsa. It is a very nice shaver.
