Early Joseph Brammer

Just got this one in. Not particularly pretty due to much work over the years, but nice to have an earlier Brammer to compare to the one that I already had.

Joseph Brammer is listed as cutler in the 1822 History, Directory and Gazeteer of the County of York, at Pye Bank. From then the details are a bit fuzzy, but at some point he took up residence in Des Moines and became a mixed martial arts fighter, known as the "Southside Strangler". Here is a picture of Joe Brammer:

Man, I hope I am that fit when I'm 192 years old. I need to start hitting the weights!

Wouldn't it be something if that MMA guy was a direct descendant of the cutler ? Very nice pair of artifacts SG. (referring to the razors) :p
