Hello there - I'm new to this website and live in Houston, Texas. I have what appears to be a very old straight razor signed "W. Smith." Does anyone have any information they can share. I'd love to upload a photo but haven't quite figured out how to do that yet :-)

I've tried to upload some photos. Let me try again.Attachment 318370
Try to get entire razor so we can see blade and tang.
Here ya' go. I have several other photos too.Attachment 318371
About all I get from both photos is about 1830-1860 I think. I am sure someone will have more accurate info.
You have been so helpful!!! Thanks so much. In this time of self-isolation I'm going through stuff I've collected over the years and listing some of it online for sale. This razor happened to be in one of the boxes. Any idea of its value? Hard to know when there so little information on the internet about it. I'm sure I purchased it years ago in a box lot at auction in England. Thanks again!
Sorry but appraisals are not allowed.

Thanks so much for that!!! What I'm really looking for is information. I love doing research on old things and this one has me stumped. You've been amazingly kind!
