Thanked: 0Straight razor marked W. Smith
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 :-)

Thanked: 0You 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!

Thanked: 0Thanks 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!
