    Default George Butler & Co.

    Got this from an Aussie vendor on ebay for AUD$40.00 postage included.
    The vendor pics aren't so good, but the blade looks very nice and the box matches.
    I can't tell what the scales are made of.

    Nice one !

    I would bet on ivory for the scales.
    Hints would be color, fine grain, old sheffield blade, and the crack

    Nice razor. Should clean up nicely. I would agree that the scales look like ivory. Will be easier to tell once you get it.
