This razor is being offered for sale from a seller under consignement. It is in my possesion and ready to ship.
For sale is a late1800, early 1900's, G. Wostenholm & Son's - IXL - Celebrated Razors - 7 Day Set, made in Sheffield
George Wostenholm & Son's: Rockingham Works Sheffield 1694 - Washington Works after 1867.
This company manufactured "Bowie type knifes amongst other kinds of cutlery and goods in other metals.
Considering the history and old age I would say this set is in great condition. A true collectors dream or for shavers alike. The hollow ground on all 7 razors are close to perfect with barely any blemishes. As is the spine and upper tang. Most of the blemishes and black staining are present on the side of the tang and/or tail end. I inspected each razor and none of these razors have ever been honed. There's not even an initial bevel set. Needless to say they were never shaved with. The genuine pre-ban scales are immaculate and show no sign of any dangerous cracks. The razors are labeled Monday through Sunday. I'm limited to 15 images per listing so I tried my best at showing each individual razor.
You're always free to make a reasonable offer.

GPSR (General Product Safety Regulation)
The new GPSR regulation will become effective in Europe on December 13, 2024.
This new law is intended for individuals or companies engaged in business transactions with or within the European Union.
The GPSR requires that all consumer products on the EU markets are safe and it establishes specific obligations for businesses to ensure it.
Sellers are compelled to engage in hiring or establishing a European-based economic operator. Basically a local EU authorized company that will represent me. For each country you sell into you'll need to register the EU responsible person with that marketplace. Maintain comprehensive technical documentation, compile a declaration of conformity, and ensure proper identification for each item. Disclose the manufacturer’s name and address on every listing, thereby compromising privacy concerns. These are merely some of the primary requirements.
Given the cost prohibitive, excessive and unreasonable requirements, particularly for small-scale sellers, I have made the decision to discontinue offering and selling my products to the European Union.
The future trajectory of this situation remains uncertain. Should regulations be modified or simplified to accommodate small businesses, I may reconsider reinstating shipping to Europe
I have no way of adding UPS Worldwide as a shipping option but if you place your order with USPS Express International I can upgrade you at no charge to UPS worldwide which usually takes between 3 and 5 business days to arrive. USPS Express International can easily take up to 4 weeks or longer depending the final destination and custom upholds.
If you want the UPS upgrade please leave me a note when checking out or send me an e-mail.
Custom duties, import taxes and UPS handling fee are the buyers responsibility.
