Help in Dating an Early Razor
Hi Guys,
I posted this in the Beginner Introductions but just in case, I'll post the pics here too.
The brush in the picture is from 1833 Hallmark so I thought a fitting companion to the razor.
This is a (I would estimate) late 1700s early 1800s Razor with Horn Scales, It hasn't had much use and is in original mahogany box and tatty outer card case.
Card Case Reads 'Portable Razors made of the finest Sheffield Steel'
Razor is marked ELLI on the Tang
Box has McPherson Brothers, Cutlers Glasgow on the top.
Any information on dating, most appreciated.
