Jas. T. Scott & Co. were silversmiths and cutlers.
The company was formed in New York, N.Y. in 1870, by James T. Scott with his sons Samuel C. Scott and James T. Scott Jr.
James T. Scott had previously been in business as James T. Scott, James T. Scott & Co. and Scott and Hennegan.
James T. Scott died in 1894 and the company did not survive for much longer.

The razor would be an import that was manufactured by someone else and re-branded for Jas. T. Scott. I couldn't state for sure who made the razor.
