    There was an Imperial that made razors and other cutlery out of Providence, RI but there were a few others too. I can't read the stamping on the tang too clearly. If you could post the stampings on the razor someone might have more info.
    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

    For what i can make out on the stamping it says:

    Imperial Razor
    Warranted
    Registered 20507
    Germany

    Looks to be 5/8.

    I'm glad that my first ever antique shop outing ended up with such a sweet find. Thanks for the advice everyone, one last question tho: is there any honing services out here in california? I would like to have it honed locally.
