Battley Swift, Sheffield straight
One of my more uncommon razors, Battley Swift, 5 Thorp Road, Sheffield.
The razor looks to have been re ground in it's early life.
My research found Battley on the census records 1881 living at 5 Thorp Road. He was in different locations in the 1871 and 1891 census lists.
He died in 1901 aged 79. .

It's not what you know, it's who you take fishing!

Quite possible that is the original grind. The double stabilizer heal started to show up in the mid 1870's. I enjoy seeing the less common Sheffield makers work. Thank you.
