Horn Handled Folding Razor with George Washington's Image
c. 1876, Pressed Horn Handle Folding Razor with Standing Likeness of Washington, Choice Very Fine.
5.5" long yellowish horn handle with pressed images of a standing Washington above a cornucopia, topped by his last name, floral stands, and a beehive. At bottom is the name "WILSON"--most likely the manufacturer of this item. The other side of the handle is pressed with a profile of "LIBERTY" above a floral stand, and below a radiant halo. Aged, 3" blade folds neatly into the handle; original clean gray patina with some minor rust or corrosion. Handle with a few nicks and chips, but generally clean.
