Etchings on Blade.


Among Mr.. Sherwood's collection
are many specimens of finely etched
blades, although rust has obliterated
some Of the more delicate markings.
Thus there is picture of George
Washington on one blade, dressed in
full Continental uniform, with his
name above his head and an inscrip-
ton beneath his feet. On another
wide, old-fashioned, heavy blade,
made by George Savage & Sons, Ma
sonic emblems have been etched,
doubtless to convert Mason into be-
ing its user. On a third are
three links to catch the Odd Fellows
trade
The idea of catering to certain SEN
timents is shown in several specimens
mainly of English manufacture. On
one side of the handle of a Joseph Ell
lott blade there is stamped New
York" and on the opposite side "inde-
pendence." A reminder of civil war
times is to be found in a razor which
bears on its blade. "The Union Must
and shall be preserved" More recent
specimens of steel etching show the
Crystanl Palace of London and the
Chicago worlds fair buildings.
The gem of the whole collection, ac-
cording to Mr.. Sherwood, is a hand
some razor made by Mines of Lon.
don, with a handle of tortoise she'll,
In which are depicted four hunting
scenes. The first picture is that of a
man loading an old-fashioned flint
lock musket. The second portrays
the hunter started for the woods
with his dog. The next scene finds
him firing his fowling piece. and in
the fourth the sportsman is returning
home with the droop of fatigue, but
nevertheless with a goodly bunch OF
game.

/ There is fall Of temperature at sun

and il is well known that change OF
