Hey guys!
First time poster here, hope this is in the right place.
A few years ago i bought an old rusted straight razor off Ebay. Had it in a drawer for a couple of years but recently decided to get it up to shaving shape. It's starting to look decent, but now i've got a bit of a conundrum! I've found markings on it, but i haven't been able to find anything about the maker. Can someone help me out?
From what i can tell, the markings say:
"John Col
Burgessstreet"
Sheffield"
It looks like it could be the same/similar to this one: http://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/vintage-unique-john-col-23-burgess-400499756
The markings are a bit indistinct though, so maybe someone can help illuminate this for me?
