B/s/t razor

[hillbilly]

new love has found me. Got this here. Even haggled a bit. This thing will shsve you to within an inch of your life. Two pass bbs. Dig that brass frame kids. Any info on the two c's over the cross? Or any age info. Thanks

Don't know about the C's but I got to tell you I like that razor!

Nice lookin' blade. Someone here probably know that hallmark too. Nice score.

No info on what the two C's represent and the cross but it will date the razor somewhat, besides the fact that Jos. Elliot was also the lead singer for Def Leppard. Jee,, I didn't think he was born in the mid 1800's. Looks younger than that and good for his age. Also didn't know he made razors.

From Uniclectica:

ELLIOT, JOSEPH
Sheffield
Trademark: C reversed and C, with cross between
1821-1854 ("More Old Razors" by Lummus. Antiques, May 1927 p.372-374)

A separate company from the more common and longer lived Joseph Elliot & Sons.

Don't know how they decided on the trademark.

My guess would be 1830 - 1850 since that was when framebacks were most popular in England.
