    Default Oldstyle W&B Frameback made in USA?

    Hi guys,

    Long story made shorter. This razor belonged to my uncle Lloyd Sheffler who was Max Sheffler's father. I should have taken before pictures and set up the lightbox but here's some snapshots.

    See here to learn about Max:

    The stamping on the tang was impossible to read when I started and I had presumed that it was a W&B made in the 1840-1860's era that had been re-scaled in more modern celluloid scales but as things got cleaned up I was able to read the stamp much better. Much is gone but what I can see with a loupe is this:

    ROMS CUTLERY WKS

    There is something like a B before the R of the ROMS

    Then below that is;

    ANDRIA. MINN

    I believe that the bottom is ALEXANDRIA. MINN as I can barely make out the E and the X that are before the A

    Any thoughts or info would be very much appreciated.

    Thanks for looking.
