    Default Any info on this here?

    I have this exact razor and the original case/box.
    Rodgers, Joseph & Sons "The Hamburg Ring" 5/8 - Straight Razor Place Wiki

    Ive searched high and low for some info on it and cant find what im looking for.
    I'm mainly interested in what year its from. or if that isn't possible to know at least
    what general time frame its from. Id also like to know if its worth anything and if so what a fair asking price would be.

    thanks guys.

    We do not do appraisals here, hoe it up and enjoy your shaves.
    If you want to sell it and do not know what is it worth put it up on e-bay and let bidders decide what is it worth.

    Joseph Rogers and sons are very common razors that when honed properly shave very well. Yours seem to be in great condition with no pitting visible except the two specs where the scales touch the blade.

    OK that's fine. i can understand why asking for appraisals on here is frowned upon. But is there any way of telling what year/era is it from?

    Judging from the cut of it's jib , I would estimate that it was made sometime between 1890 - 1920 .
