Thread: J.T. Mount & Company-straight razor

Can anyone comment on the razors from J.T. Mount and Company? Here is what Goins Encyclopedia has to say about this company:

"J.T. Mount & Co. Newark N.J. c. 1885-1911. James T. Mount was born in Ann Arbor, Michigan in 1845. He moved to east Orange, New Jersey in 1881, and about 1885 opened a cutlery manufacturing company in Newark, located in the Nassau Works. This works had previously been occupied by Charles Booth, and later Furness & Banister. He operated the plant for several years, closing it in 1905. Mr. mount died in 1921".
