Wostenholm & Sons SFR

[epd]

I picked this one up off ebay, 7/8 (.910) near wedge with horn scales and MOP inlay.
I gave it a little clean up and while doing so found some cursive lettering in the scales, I can make out the j, but the letters on the other side are too difficult to make out.
Im going to hone it up tomorrow and give it a spin tomorrow night.
Maybe someone can shed some light on the SFR stamp, my searches came up empty.

Thanks for looking,
Eric

Nice one! I'm glad I missed that one completely as we probably would have been bidding against each other.

Afraid I can't help on the SFR stamp though.

Nice razor! since you found a J it is highly possible that it is a Joseph Wostenholm & Sons, totally different company then the more popular George Wostenholm & Sons.
