This arrived today Joseph Rodgers 5/8th in Ivory Scales
Wow Ian thats gorgeous!!
Wow! That's gorgeous! Bet she shaves beautifully as well. Congratulations!
A very, very lovely razor.
Thank you Dean, Alan, & Richard.
It sure is I was shocked when I opened the package, as it was listed as bone scales and there is very little pitting only round the pivot pin. But I don't think it has seen a hone at all..... so In all very happy with it.......
Noooo!.... It's mine all mine
Happy Birthday Doug!!! That is one beautiful razor
Ha, we'd make a good team. I remember about as much as you do.
Here's a close up of the tang. I just noticed that it has England on it so that would probably put it after 1890.

Great, thanks. That's exactly what I was looking for.
Not as nice as yours but here's a picture I just took after a little cleaning. It has a few dark spots but no pits and the engraving is still pretty deep.
Beautiful razor Ian!
The razor have England in a half circle on the tang indicating trade markings. This razors is most likely late 18th or early 19th century, leaning towards the later. Either way they are fantastic shavers. i used a JR near wedge a week ago and really liked it.
Today was a good day at the flea market. I only had a couple of minutes so I went straight to my favorite vendor's booth. Actually he has his own room in the back of the building.
He had just brought in about 12 razors and a strop and I left with 6 of them and the strop.
There's a couple that I left that I've been thinking about so I'll probably be going back for them tomorrow or Friday. Here's what I picked up today.
Red Imp 133 (Morris Mfg.)
Globusmen, E. Bengfeld & Sohn, Solingen - O. Butterscotch scales with MOP inlay. What does the O mean?
2 Wade & Butcher.
7/16" Edmond Roffler, made in France.
Double Duck Lifetime.
Any information you want to share on these would be welcomed. Thanks

Congratulations on the 133 Red Imp. Would not mind having the 132 wedge
Thanks, that's what I was thinking. According to the chart, it looks like 1891 to 1901. That's a pretty small window for a straight razor.
P.S. There seems to be a slightly raised rectangle on the scales. Does anyone know what this might be? Was there another logo or something? It's strange to me.
