Sometimes it's hard to pass one up

I wish to thank a fellow SRP member Magpie for this razor. He said to say hello to Sharptonn, Wullie, Phrank and Stimpy.
I'm a sucker for the older American razors. Especially when it's a bigger blade in this kind of condition. Here we have an American Knife Co. 7/8 near wedge with a muted barbers notch and a wonderful crocus finish. The company was founded in 1849 at Reynolds Bridge, Conn. (a section of Plymouth Hollow). In 1875 the town name was changed to Thomaston which helps date the razor. The scales are black horn with a lead wedge and brass pins and collars. There appears to be no hone wear other than the from the factory. The bugs have chewed up the scales and I'll be torn to replace or repairs them.
