Extremely Rare, Patriotic, American Revolutionary War period, Colonial, 18thC pressed horn handled straight razor with GEORGE WASHINGTON depicted on the front, and BENJAMIN FRANKLIN on the pile side. This is a one of a kind shaving device that was made by, and stamped “WILSON.” Note the American Eagle, “America,” Cherry Tree and thirteen stars on the side with Washington, and the Bee Hive (Industry) and “Cornucopia” decoration for Franklin. "Wilson" was a quality maker of pressed horn handles for the cutlery manufacturing industry in Sheffield, England for the American market. Further, these early full length pressed horn scenes, when combining both sides, tend to tell a story. Please see multiple images for details.
