You don't find them like this everyday
I think this is about as near NOS as you can get considering it's age. A post 1890 Christopher Johnson & Co. 6/8 near wedge. To me it appears to have never been honed other than at the factory. Just a plain Jane blade but the condition is outstanding. The blade faces are mint and just a few spots of corrosion on the spine which will be easy to remove. Crocus finish blade faces and glaze finish tang and spine. There will be no need to disassemble the razor. The honey horn scales have just a few spot of delamination. The wedge is lead. Not many Chris Johnson razors posted. George Johnson & Co. seem to be more common.
Thought I'd share.
