    I would say mid 1800's to 1890's. Nice find!

    That sounds about right. I shaved with one this morning. Honed by Lynn and holds a nice edge. I think you'll like it.

    Why can't I ever find something that nice at an antique shop? Great score! I hope it shaves well.

    So then if it is a Sheffield then it is pre 1868. Sweet!

    Sorry, but you're wrong.
    Manhattan Cutlery Co. and Manhattan Cutlery Co., Sheffield are H.Boker trademarks, 1868-1906.
