Thread: Fixing up my only frameback

Nice work, I love the finish on the blade and the collars.

Scales came out very nice. Good job.

Nice work ! You breathed new life into it and kept the character. Kudos

Nice! That's a keeper! I like the extra touch with the collars. And keeping it vintage looking with the patina.
If I had only one frameback I'd want it to be that one.
No idea on the manufacturer, that tail is cool, and the Masonic symbol..

Wow, great job well done. Is this your first time doing this?

Thanks, Engine! Well, I've been learning about restoring for three years now. I'm still learning something new with each project and that's what's got me hooked I think. I truly appreciate the kind words and compliments here. Thanks, everybody!

You're welcome my friend!

I'm just guessing but from what I can see with the type frameback and the monkey tail that may be a very old razor and in my opinion, a treasure to cherish for a lifetime. Maybe someone more knowledgeable about the age of razors will chime in with more info for you..........Enjoy!

I would think it is early 1800's. John Barber got his freedom in 1823 & began making his own straight razors around that time.
