THOMAS W.WARD&Co

[Frans]

Едет ко мне такая вот бритва от Томаса Варда в чисто армейском исполнении. Хеви Металл. По возможности хочу сохранить оригинал.

[RuslanK]

Доволен видно, как слон, раз выложил до приезда..?)

[Frans]

Да тут ему ехать три дня до Киева и день ко мне. А вдруг рекламный ход пройдет в массы по тихой грусти.
Сбыт должен быть налажен раньше чем снаб.
А вообще конечно доволен.

[GScobe]

Ручка железная? А смысл? Метнуть в противника, не зарежет так шишку набьет?
Вообще конечто брутальный брутал. Гибрид бритвы с саблей.

[mister maloi]

Главное кровосток есть , фишка этих Вардов.

[Сергей В.]

У меня попроще, без кровостока.

[Frans]

Был один у меня с ручкой из рога.

Да ну.. Нет тут никакой ассоциации с оружием. Долговечность! Чтобы в ранец бросил и и не думал что ручка сломается. Вот на что упор.
А кровосток он не кровосток, а просто дол а в нем надпись. Всё.
Армейская-не значит для убийства. Ох и мысли у вас, господа... ммм.

Ручка не родная.

Добавлено спустя 2 минуты 26 секунд:
Клин 19 ст., тогда такие ручки не ставились (позже намного). Да и пин самоклеп.

[Frans]

Посмотрим как придет. Я бы не утверждал категорично.

Добавлено спустя 45 секунд:
Ибо износа полотна нет. Отсюда и делай выводы. Ручка поржавела.

Добавлено спустя 1 минуту 17 секунд:
Не вижу самоклепа. Нет его.

[Karangi]

Как не крути, хорошая бритва.

[Frans]

Будут предвзятые фото с подоконника. Тогда да.
А пока лучше историю нарыть, кто силен в поисках.

[Karangi]

Это Наш "Петр" может..

По бритвам мало что есть
Был такой производитель стали Томас Вильям Вард 1853/56-1929 Марка THOs.W.WARD много чего делали сталь разную, трубы для водопровода и не только, токарные станки но вот про бритвы нет ни слова.
Есть каталог с этим производителем но он под паролем и не открыть его никак, а продавец жмот и не продает и не дает пароль.

Добавлено спустя 3 минуты 13 секунд:
Такой еще был но ручка может переставлена или просто отдельно куплена такое тоже было.

Армейская бритва одним словом. Военная тайна
А бритвы то хороши. И сталь Томаса Варда тоже.

Есть другой Вард, с бритвами:
The Company of Thomas Ward & Sons Ltd was founded by Thomas Watkins Ward and his three brothers in the 1920s and operated from Suez Street, Warrington Lancashire. There were two subsidiary companies "Wardonia Ltd" and "Morgan Guard Razor Co. Ltd". Wardonia was also the registered trade mark of Thomas Ward & Sons Ltd.
The name of Thomas Ward & Sons Ltd first appears in the Sheffield Trade Directories in the mid 1920s at Wardonia Works, Countess Road and they are described as “Cutlery and Razor Manufacturers”. The Sheffield Records Office have a 1926 reference to Thomas Ward & Sons Ltd of Countess Road and 87 Eldon Street who were described as cutlery manufacturers. By 1927 it had changed to cutlery and razor blade manufacturers. (Eldon St. address having disappeared) At a later date the company had showrooms at Wardonia Buildings, Warrington, Cheshire and Morley House, 26-30 Holborn Viaduct, London E.C.1.
In September 1928 the Patent Office in London granted patent No.296,597 jointly to John Henry Morgan and Alfred Stewart Mumme. I have in my collection an original document dated December 1929 in which Morgan and Mumme "assigned and transferred their entire right in the said invention" to Thomas Ward and Sons Ltd. This design changed very little in the next 50 years.

From my research at the Sheffield Archives Office it very quickly became apparent that Thomas Ward and Sons manufactured very little themselves of their shaving items, razor blades were often purchased as blanks from different suppliers including Souplex by the 10,000's. Handles, guards, caps, boxes, shipping boxes, razor blade wrappers and razor blade packets were all bought in from suppliers all over the country, and assembled into sets to be sold on under the "Wardonia" trade mark.

In the early years Wardonia produced a vast number of different sets, with very British sounding names such as the "Sandhurst", "Oxford", "Cambridge", "Golden Arrow" and the "Derby" to name but a few. They also sold razors in France under the Wardonia name and in Italy under the name "Loredana", whether these sets were produced in England or in those respective countries I have still to ascertain.

In the early 1970's the introduction by Wilkinson Sword of its "bonded cartridge" razor and Gillette's "Trac II" cartridge razor, along with Bic's disposable razor (1975) was the beginning of the end for the safety razor with the double edged razor blades. In the latter years Wardonia only seemed to be selling their Barrel-Hole and Barrel-Hole Slotted razor blades, plus the "Derby", "Devon" and the "Traveller" sets, (many of which are still available today)
Thomas Ward & Sons Ltd ceased trading in July 1984 and the premises were sold, but Wardonia Ltd continued to trade from 61, Union Street, Harthill, Nr. Sheffield concentrating on cutlery, plate, scissors and penknives. They continued to sell razor blades, holders and sets but they were manufactured for Wardonia. The metal safety razors were much sought after by the retail trade. Wardonia Ltd ceased trading in 2000 when Mr. T W Ward son of the founder decided to retire.
The Wardonia Works (also known as Chaucer Yard) on the corner of Clough Road and Countess Road have recently been recommended for conservation by Sheffield Council, which should ensure their survival as they were due to be demolished and replaced by housing.

Википедия его знает. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Wil ... strialist)

Thomas William Ward was born in Sheffield, England in 1853, and began work as at the age of 15 as a coal merchant. He was soon drawn into Sheffield's famous steel industry and became a successful scrap metal dealer in the city, helped by the great demand for the product during the early 1870s. Ward became an expert at dismantling big structures, and rose to considerable fame as a skilled shipbreaker and tradesman with his company Thos W Ward Ltd, established in 1873 and formed into a Limited Company at the Albion Works in Sheffield in 1904. He owned breakers' yards at ports around Britain, and was well known for his resourceful nature, recycling everything on the warships and redundant luxury liners given over to his care, down to lamps and carpets, and even the timber being used for garden furniture. Some of his most famous shipbreaking projects included the SS Majestic (1890) White Star Liner from the early 1900s, which was broken up at his yard near Morecambe in 1914, before that she was commanded for 9 years by Capt. Smith who went down with his new command - the Titanic; and the Olympic, which was finally towed to Inverkeithing.[1]

Thomas Ward was elected to the prestigious office of Master Cutler in 1913 and his brother Joseph became Chairman of the Scrap Advisory Committee to the Ministry of Munitions.

Ward died on 3 February 1926 and was buried at Crookes Cemetery, Headland Road, Sheffield.

After his death Thos W Ward Ltd was able to survive throughout the Second World War and was run by Ward's family until the latter part of the 1950s. In January 1982 Thos W Ward Ltd was taken over by Rio Tinto Zinc.

Так кто спорит и бритвы хороши и молотки тоже.
Просто о бритвах мало что есть.
В каталоге магазина за 1905 год у варда две страницы и ни одной бритвы там нет.

По датам, думаю что бритвы у него проскочили в ранний период. Трамплин так сказать. Так что вторая половина 19го.
