    The Manhattan Cutlery Co. is also among Boker's brands and trademarks:

    And a nice early piece with inlaid anchor and crown. Haven't had a chance to research it, but looks like "Bayson" or "Rayson" Warranted.

    You're in for a treat with that stub tailed John Barber. I have one exactly the same as yours there, I re-did in bone. One of my best shavers that I bust out for special occasions. The shave from it is just silky smooth!!!!Name:  113344d1354162354-john-barber-stub-tail-bone-dsc00132.jpg

    Actually Zak is, it's on the way to him. I have an older John Barber that's waiting to be rescaled that I'm keeping. But I'm sure he'll let me know how nice it is
