Nice job with the scales. I love abalone. It is my favorite!! I look forward to seeing it all pinned together.
I read somewhere that W. Greaves died in the mid-1800's and his sons sold out to B. J. Eyre & Co. who marked their razors for the next 5 years or so as "B.J. Eyre & Co Late W. Greaves & Sons". I don't have a source, and I'm not going looking for one as it's bedtime, but I'm sure one of our Sheffield gurus around will set me straight if I'm wrong... :shrug:
I was wondering that myself, as I just got one today that doesn't say sheffield. It just says manufactured by W. Greaves & Sons Sheaf Works. It's in kinda rough shape, though...
I just purchased one of these, reading "B.J. Eyre & Co Late W. Greaves & Sons Sheffield." So does that put it between 1850 - 1890?
Nice scales, very nice...
