Thanked: 4249About your 5&6:
Front tang: Asian writing?
Rear Tang: F with Maltese cross??
Ive read in a few different places that Hiram Cutler had a registered trademark Capital F below Maltese cross. As far has the asian/ kanji writing on the razor i think its been said a few times over that was some kind of publicity advertizing stunt.
CUTLER, Hiram G. SHEFFIELD
Castle Hill 1837-1846
CUTLER, Hiram, Son & CHAMBERS
Castle Hill Works, Castle Hill 1854-1862
Also listed simply as Cutler, Son & Chambers 1849-1859.
CHAMBERS, Charles & Co
Castle Hill Works, Castle Hill 1864-1887
In 1837 Cutler took over the premises and presumably continued the business of Furness, Cutler & Stacey (before them, Weldon & Furniss). It is not known whether this Cutler or John/William Cutler were in the Whitham & Cutler partnership.
1841: Hiram G. Cutler, merchant, steel converter, and saw, edge tool, file, and table, shoe and butcher knife manufacturer.
1862: Hiram and John Edward Cutler, and Charles Chambers, merchants, and manufacturers of steel, files, edge tools, saws, and table and spring knife cutlery.
In 1889 the defunct firm’s trade marks, pattern books, labels and account books (dating from 1780) were advertised for sale in a Sheffield newspaper.
Trade and second quality marks: Weldon; late Cutler, Son and Chambers; capital F below Maltese cross.
I wasnt pursuaded that Hiram Cutler did in fact produce razors but this advertisement from 1851 in a newspaper clearly states that his firm did make razors.
