Thanked: 5The information regarding David and Samuel Stodart appears to be incorrect. Samuel, born 1817 was David Stodart's son, Samuel was my G,Grandfather. The Samuel referred to in joint business with David, I believe would be his father, Samuel. James Stodart FRS, & Cutler/Surgical Instrument Maker had, as far as I can establish one brother (younger) Samuel. Their father was a James Stodart, brother to Robert Stodart, pianoforte maker London. James Stodart FRS, makes referance to a David, as his nephew in his will. The information about this comes from a book called "The memoir of James Wyld of Gilston and his family, also of Robert Stodart of Kailzie and Ormiston Hill", by Robert Stodart Wyld. The book can be read online, the appendix at the rear is by Robert Riddle Stodart. ---Thanks Phil Stodart.

Thanked: 3164That's odd, Phil - Samuel Stodart's baptism record is dated 25th June 1816, son of David and Jacobina (nee Anderson) Stodart, married 29th June 1805 and brother of David, Roderick & Charles Stodart.
Although there is no set age for baptism, it isn't often done at birth, so 1817 is not the correct date of birth.
Regards,
Neil

I want to thank all the contributors to this thread. I've had a Stodart razor for years but haven't been able to identify it until now. It has only the crown & star touch mark on the tang without the Stodart name.
But now it's a mystery no more!

No problem - just snapped a couple quick pics. Sorry the quality isn't great. I've got plans to set up my diffuser screens sometime this summer and do some intensive razor shooting. But these will have to do for now.
Here's the razor, it's a short little travel model. Based on the relative crudeness of the stamp, I'm guessing it leans toward the early years of the Stodart business.

Yeah. I'd say that's quite early. Late 1700's quite easily. The tortoise shell scales are really in remarkable condition. It looks so old to me that I wonder if it was actually Stodart or if he bought the mark from an earlier cutler.
Probably not a travel razor though. The razors of that era were mostly much smaller.
Do you know anything about where it came from?
I got my Stodart razor from an eBay vendor near Swindon in the UK, so it never traveled very far.
And I'm in total agreement with ScienceGuy. That's a beautiful razor. I'm looking forward to you getting your gear set up and some nice pictures!-Zak Jarvis. Writer. Artist. Bon vivant.
