Absolutely terrific Vintage Joseph Allen and Sons Non-XLL Barber Straight Razor made in Sheffield, England. I found fintastic brief history of these razors on fretzwerks.com - "Joseph Allen, the razor's namesake was born into the world in 1829, the son of a sickle maker. Starting in 1851 Joseph Allen had relocated to Sheffield, England working as a razor smith. Employing 10 men in the 1880's working as Oak Works Joseph Allen acquired the "Non XLL" trademark that this razors bears on its tang"
The blade features beautiful "Hollow Full Ground" logo.
The length of the black ebony style handle is 14.5 cm, the object appears in great and working condition, please have a good look at the photos too.
It comes in a case that is although belong to the same era as the razor, I am not sure is shops the original to this razor, the case is marked with Yorkshire Steel Co Ltd credits.
