Thread: George Wostenholm & Sons Awesome Etching

I recently won this razor in an ebay auction and the pictures were extremely dark and kind of far away so I definitely took a bit of a gamble on this razor but when it came today in the mail I was pleasantly surprised. Measuring in at a solid 7/8 at the widest point this beast is heavy. The best part is that its etching is 95% intact and will definitely shine up nicely after some polishing. The etching reads "GEO WOSTENHOLM & SONS SUPER SUPER EXTRA IXL RAZOR MADE EXPRESSLY FOR AMERICA" and the front of the is faded and intact and reads "IXL George Wostenholm & Sons Celebrated IXL Razor IXL". The back of the scales is cracked at both pins but the important side is in good shape. I tried to take some decent pictures but the etching is hard to capture in its present condition. Can't wait to do some minor restoration and hone it up .
