    Default "Old Timer" 1771 and Double Coffin

    Went to an old antique store haunt in Florida to pick up a Double Coffin case. Actually traded the owner a War College World War II Field Surgery Manual and a 1920's Gettysburg War College Map for these two old relics. With my 50 year old eyes AND a magnifying glass I couldn't make out the tang stamp. It is written in pencil on the homemade wood scales "Old Timer" 1771 which I take with a grain of salt... I'd say 1810-1820. When I research the maker in the Doyle's I will update.

    Double Coffin obviously is not for this razor... It will soon house twin John Barber blades...

    I have to guess, but I think I see a pronounced shoulder / heel?

    Yes... That's why I'd say early 1800's

    Default Duck Score & Depews tags along

    Just picked this up. I also have the correct plastic case for the Wonderedge.
