Another Chinese Sheffield, Colley & Co.
Colley & Co. worked from their Arundel St. address from 1834 - 1841. Lots of Colley names in Tweedale's Directory. The trade mark is an 'S' over crossed pipes. A near wedge 7/8 tapering to 6/8. It's long at 3 1/2" from toe to heal with little hone wear. The barbers notch shape is quite different and the tang has upper and lower jimps. I have seen the spiked point tang on a few other Chinese razors. Honey horn scales are pretty delaminated but all there. A lead wedge and brass pins holds it all together. The name Johnson is scratched into the sclaes. I guess I was meant to have this as that is my last name.

Whoa, Seb Schmoller...I don't want to know how you went about dragging this up from your personal archives, but it is pretty damn cool! Originally Posted by sharptonn

Lovely razor Karl...Your right about there being a lot of different 'Colley's', although you don't see them that often. I have a 'Colley & Hargreaves.
