Thanked: 1Need Expert Advice
I have had in my possession for nearly 50 years a razor that the handle appears bone or wood. It has carved busts of "PREBLE" (I assume Edward 8/1761-8/1807), "WASHINGTON" (I assume George), "MONTEAQUIEU" (1689-1755), and "VOLTAIRE" (1694-1778). I got the dates from Internet searches. It also has seals on each side, one I recognize "E PLURIBUS UNUM", and the other I do not recognize. Folded, the razor is 6", extended it is 10". The blade has no markings that I can find. I know that after the American revolution, the French held Washington in high regard and the other figures were political writers, etc. that espoused revolution for France. Any help in establishing age, etc. would be appreciated. The attachment are photos that I hope are clear enough. Thanks for the help.
