Thread: Asprey and Erik Anton Berg Ebay Razors Arrived

I can't find any nicks or cracks in the blades and rust/discoloration seems minimal. I think these will make some good projects.

The Asprey says "166 Bond Street". I've found some that say "166 New Bond Street". I wonder if that could help with the dating. The company goes back to 1781. They also changed names to "Asprey & Son" in 1872. I really want to nail down some sort of timeframe for this razor.

If you have any information you can share on these, I'd greatly appreciate it.

Kinda look like bone scales to me...................nice score though!
