o suuuurrrrreee just ruin it for me ...lol.. that is very interesting , in that article i noticed the T. Turton also got the trade mark.. but i read in another post on here ( i gotta find it ) that B.J. Eyre kept the cutlery part of the company , that is where part of my confusion stemed from production dates ..
i figured the shape and style of the blade and no abbreviated tail made it a newer razor then older
1816 "sons" joined in ( figured "sons' was added to tang from here on out )
1823 started sheaf works ( this is where i was confused thinking "sheaf works" would be on the tang )
1850 sold to B.J. Eyre ( i thought the tangs were stamped "late greaves & sons " after that
and yet you have enlightened me even more ...lol.. 3 things i would have never guessed about straight razor shaving are !!
1)it could be so much fun
2)i would/could have a near , around , or older then a 150yr old razor cutting whiskers off my face
3) i could learn so much history in such a short period of time , there isnt many things you can own with that much age to it that you can use on a every day basis !!
thanks again for info and checking out the post !!

So while you got that one I got this.... and judging from what you decifered from Wullies post is it safe to say that since mine says sheaf works that it could be dated between 1823 - 1850? See we are Greaves Brothers from other mothers.

It is my understanding that Eyre added "Late Greaves" for about 10 years after the aquisition. The Greaves Sheaf Works was the early production, but by no means were they the only makers by the river Sheaf!
"Don't be stubborn. You are missing out."
I rest my case.

Dude I can't buy everything on ebay...I have rent and bills to pay just like everyone else..LMAO And if I would have gotten it I wouldn't have gotten to check out your tat....Yeah what do you do in the mean time while you're waiting for your hands to heal?
Cheetah is an equal opportunity guy but I love the submiminal ninjaism that I seem to posess over the larger razors on ebay. LOOK OUT cheetah is coming...lol
