George Wostenholm I XL - Anyone know the history?
Recently purchased this George Wostenholm I XL 5/8 and I am really interested in a razors history - but I know nothing about this one. I am looking in particular for an approximate age, but any info is appreciated.
Has an interesting etching on the blade - very shallow and fine, nearly invisible. It depicts two hands shaking surrounded on all sides by banners which read "The Americans Give the Right Hand of Fellowship to All Nations and Own An Universal Brotherhood"
I have to admit I chuckled - it actually says "An".. maybe it was proper English at the time?
The tang/shank reads:
G. Wostenholm & Son
I-XL Sheffield Eng
nothing on the back side, which was kind of interesting..
I also know that it has been restored, and the pins are new
Like I said, any info is appreciated!
