Hi guys,
I've come out of lurking mode because I've recently acquired an old Imperial Razor Co whose scales are made from a single piece of wood. I'm not sure if they're the orignal scales, but it looks old enough to be (pictures attached).
The text on the tang has worn down considerably and you can just make out the following:
....PERIAL RAZOR
....ARRENTED
....TERED No. 20507
And on the other side:
....MANY
I know, from reading info on this very site, that Imperial Razor Co began operation in 1876 and I would love to think that this could be one from that era, but I'd like to get your opinions on it if I can.
