No, but interestingly.:)
Benjamin James Eyre died on 5 September 1878, aged 66.
In 1876, he sold his Sheffield firm and New York office to the New York merchant house of Frederick Wiebuch.
This razor was made more later.
After the death of F. Wiebusch in 1893, the firm became part of the Wiebusch & Hilger Company of New York.
By 1899, they had purchased the Hatch Cutlery Company of Bridgeport, and moved into the Hatch factory. The name then became the
Challenge Cutlery Company.
I have no facts now, and I can only guess(!) that this razor was also made by
Joseph Allen & Sons company. They used marks of different companies: Jonathan Crookes, Levesley Bros.,
Joseph Smith and etc.
There was a good business with trademarks/stamps.:)
For example, the
Adolph Kastor company paid Joseph Allen a royalty for the use of its "NON-XLL" mark, because of the resemblance to
Wostenholm's "I*XL".
