Pressed horn Bingham's
A flea market turned up this pressed horn beauty today. It just went for a prolonged bath in bag of Neat's Foot, but here are the "before" shots. I'm pretty sure that partial stamp says Bingham's Criterion, but if it had the WR and crown stamp , it has succumbed to the ages and grinding. The tail is short, and flattened......1830'S? I also picked up this cute but worn W&B 13/16 near wedge to play with. I'll put up some other finds in a new thread to keep this one from being too photo rich.

James Bingham started his razor business in the late 1820's, in 1845 he closed his business to work as a Razor Grinder manager at George Wostenholm & Son. That said your dating is pretty close either way, the scales are fantastic, Enjoy!
