Apparently it's the private collection of the J & W Ragg family, sold off at auction recently in Sheffield by the last descendants. The current eBay seller bought a big batch and is re-selling - I snagged a couple which I stumbled across at the start but prices have skyrocketed. According to the seller, the collection was cataloged with dates and notes in the 1930s by the last member of the Ragg family actively involved in razor-making. So Cha-wing, I'm even more curious about your mushroom spot....., go on
and congrats on your razors!
