Thanked: 2Joseph Elliot's Best Concave Razor
Hi I was wondering if someone could help me to identify when this razor was made and also what type of material are the scales made from.
Thanks in advance.

Thanked: 13240ELLIOT, JOSEPH

Trademark: C reversed and C, with cross between

ca. 1795 to present
From the "Look" of the razor it is 1910 and newer, but that is just a guess..
The scales a a bit harder to tell but my experience tells me they are probably pressed horn and when clean and polish they will look like it again...
Horn can degrade quite a bit over the years.. Again this is from a pic I could tell you instantly if they were in my hands
