Thread: Need razor ID.

Need help with ID on the straight razor. There is no name only I-BARBER AND SILVER STEEL. Would this razor be for late 1800's?

Isaac Barber, 38 Meadow Street, Sheffield.

It's a period copy of a John Barber razor, or at least according to the John Barber ad in this thread.

My guess is that it was made between the late 1820's and the late 1830's. Much, much later the Joseph Elliot company bought the I. Barber trademark, but this razor long predates that.

Are these very desirable razors?

Providing they're in good shape, I haven't found any razors from the 1800-1840 period to NOT be at least somewhat desirable.
