I have a soft spot for the city, so have managed to collect a number of Philadelphia-associated razors.
My most recent is from Henry D. Justi (not 'Justice'). He appears as a razor manufacturer, not just a seller, in McElroy's Philadelphia directory from 1863, based at 808 Arch street. There's not much there today but a parking garage and a building for rent. The razor looks very much like some French framebacks.

Nice razor in great shape. Are you going to clean it up and Shave with it? Looks like it will hone up great. Congrats.
Very nice looking razor you have sir!!
I had seen that! What interested me was that L Herder was listed at 606 Arch St. Must have been quite the street!
Now its the Internal Revenue Service, Talk about regression. Oh for the good old days.Quote:

Ontopic: That is a really awesome-looking razor. Should clean up nicely.
I like that a lot. I'd like to find something like that while out fooling' around! Great score......................
