B.J. Eyre Flea Market Find and Question
I know that the company has a convoluted history, but can anyone give a rough date for this particular etch? I was happy to find this fellow in this condition, and have only given it a cursory wet sanding with 2000 and 3000. Can't wait to give it a try.

Thats a deep etching. Nice. I cant help much besides say it dont say England so before 1891. Nice score.
It's just Sharpening, right?

Looks just like my Bingham. IIRC WM Bingham is the maker of mine. Exactly the same etch.
Nothing is fool proof, to a sufficiently talented fool...

Aren't they late 1850s to early 1870s? A beautiful razor btw.

As you can see in the photo of the tang, this one is marked B.J. Eyre & Cos. which brings up another question. The Late Greaves B.J. Eyre razors are marked with just Co. at the end, and this one and others are marked with Cos. I assume that means Companies. That little difference is probably a dating aid, but it's beyond me.

I have a very similar razor, Wm. Bingham & Co Cleveland O. The only difference in the etch being the Eagle on mine is saying "Excelsior"
