Thomas Ellin - Vulcan - "The Million Razor"
This arrived a little while back. It's looks like it could be unused or used just once or twice. Anyway, it's about as close to NOS as I've been able to get. But... I have no qualms about giving it some use! I've only found just basic info about Thomas Ellin & Co. so far: (from Martin103 on a past thread)
THOMAS ELLIN & CO
Sylvester Works, Arundel Street, Sheffield
At least 1892 to at least 1919
Models“Vulcan”

Thomas Ellin I became a master cutler in 1833. His son Thomas Ellin II in 1841. In 1810.The firm rented a water wheel later known as Ellin or Sylvester Wheel. Ellin was said to be one of the first cutlers to use steam powered machinery and the first to employ circular saws for cutting ivory, horn and bone. In it's day Ellin's was considered amongst the most advanced firms in the cutlery business. Ellin's marks were a sailing ship 'Cutter', 'Vulcan', Sylverster & Co.', 'Maple Leaf', and Lacrosse. In 1915 Ellin's was one of the first firms to register a stainless steel trade mark 'Vulcan Stainproof'. The Ellin company was formally dissolved in 1980.
