An interesting early American razor
I got this one in a rather nondescript ebay lot. The maker is Rawson & Nourse, from Grafton, Massachusetts. I haven't turned up much other than an article in Antiques from 1927, where this maker is described, saying the shape of the razor was 'amateurish'. The stamping, scale shape, and quality of the ivory seem to support this. By their guess it dates to the 1860s. I doubt I'll see another one.
