Straight razor. Illegible deep stamp on tang with remnant of maker and Warranted. Very rare 18thC American Revolutionary War period - Pre-1800 shaving instrument. This awesome example is from the “Lummus Collection,” as evidenced by the inventory number and dot codes at the head end of the pile side. The number is an inventory number from the Henry T. Lummus Collection assembled before 1920. Lummus wrote articles on straight Razor Collecting for "Antiques" magazine in the 1920's. The red dot pattern was some type of code that Henry applied to many of his straight razors. Although I bought his 500 piece collection from his Estate over 40 years ago, and tried to review all the designs to try and find what they had in common, I could not break the code.
