    Ummm... it was made in Germany!

    On a serious note, that's a nice looking razor, although you may need to grind her into a round or french point to deal with the chipping at the toe...

    Or you could put a light smile in her. If you have trouble I would check the classifieds for one of our great restorers.
    As for ID I will wait for Manah.

    According to Goins' Encyclopedia, H. C. Wentworth & Sons was in business from about 1909 to 1913.

    Yes. Unfortunately, nothing to add. I had the similar razor. Nice shaver.
