Oh! You knife know-it-all! Just tell us! :p
C. Platts & Sons Cutlery did indeed make razors as you can see in the advertisement bellow, and before moving to Eldred PA they were in Gowanda NY.

And that razor you got there from.......................... purty sure is a rare one thanks for sharing!
Yep. I knew right where to look. 2 Empire, Beardsley and Alvords sleeping with the Sheffies! Thanks, Martin! :) A nice Holly blade has been waiting for scales too!

Now they need to sleep on the other side of the pond! Very early American razors thanks for sharing!

Yes, Martin! They will join their bretheren in my American collection. This is very exciting to discover I had something worthwhile in that regard. I had wondered why they did not say "Sheffield"! Perhaps it was because they were not!
I must add I appreciate your involvement and efforts in the history of these old blades. The info is awesome!:bow
Cool!
