Its been a while since I have had a chance to indulge my RAD, but what a way to get back in the swing of things. I found this baby in a antique store expedition. Check out this chopper

Wow, looks to be in pretty good shape really, for the age...
WILLIAM GREAVES AND SONS
Sheffield
Built the Sheaf Works (first large factory in Sheffield) in 1823-6
1816 - 1850 ("Old Sheffield Razors" by Lummus. Antiques, December 1922 p.261-267)
I would guess that is correct for that stub tailed beauty
Real nice. I love razors like that. If it was me I would paper towel it with semichrome or the equivalent and hone him up. :)
Congrats on a great find! Don't let Holli see it!
Aren't antique shop finds just GREAT!!
Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet!
Very nice find congratulations.
A very handsome and very old Greaves-congratulations. If it is not stamped "Sheaf Works" it may be pre-1825.
Wow! That's a nice razor...shoot, that razor was put together and shipped 30 years before my town was even incorporated :(
I love those big blades, what a handsome fellow!
NICE CATCH!!!!!!!
