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.
