Celluloid.
And items only needed the country of origin stamp if they were made for export. None of the 1920's and 30's Weiss razors have England on them either.
Edited to add:
And while Sheffield razors past 1890 or so were definitely in decline, many of the folks still making things like 7-Day sets produced outstanding goods. Those ought to serve you very well indeed!Last edited by Voidmonster; 12-22-2013 at 06:04 AM.

Yep, Cell. The faux-graining is too perfect and uniform. The big, tall peen gives it away too, esp if all are that way. Also, very thick in width, not ivory, I believe. The English cell was far better than most in formulation, I feel. They had a different name for it? Hone them up and give them a go.
"Don't be stubborn. You are missing out."
I rest my case.

There were cutlers that stamped Sheffield England prior to 1891.
