Garage sale find - need help identifying
Hi all,
Picked up this razor and stone el cheapo at a garage sale. I tried to clean up the razor and see what it says on the tang. I can make out the words "James" and "CE" on it. Any idea about who the manufacturer might be and vintage? It looks pretty beat up and has rust. I used Maas and fine steel wool and this is what I could get so far. Scales seem horn and are kinda bowed, but the razor closes fine (i.e., they don't obstruct its closure).
The stone says "O-SO-EZE". Any help identifying it and its grit level would also be appreciated. Am new to honing and was wondering if I could use this as a finishing stone? Its about 2"x6"x0.5" I searched and found a couple of dead links here in this forum.
Thanks in advance for all your help and apologies if my search skills aren't up to snuff. Please let me know if you'd like to see more pics or have any questions.
