Thread: Ebay catch- provenence and search for NOS scales

Can’t help you with horn scales but… “The Celebrated” was etched on a few other brands… Torrey comes to mind.
But that razor looks exactly like a W&B for barbers use… can’t make it out but does it have the star and cross on the tang?
W&B usually have the “upturned pony tail” (that’s my best description).

no, it doesn't have those marque stamp thingies that the w&b's have. I'm just thinking, the technology they had back in the day. not like there were font packages. just guessing they must have either shared plates or done blade sfor other people. (not just w&b).

I know I can have osmebody make me the scales, but I'm trying to save money on this one. budget blade this one. :-) I'll just have to make some scales for it myself I guess.

Maybe the same die maker made forging dies for the butcher too, or an X W&B employee found a job at John Coxhill...
