#35 – Straight razor. Gilbert Saville Works Sheffield Extra Hollow Ground & MFG in Germany blade etched Alabama with a picked bone handle and center escutcheon plate. Note: Razor manufacturers were always marketing to shavers with the latest current event. CSS Alabama was a screw sloop-of-war built in 1862 for the Confederate States Navy at Birkenhead on the River Mersey opposite Liverpool, England by John Laird Sons and Company.[3] Alabama served as a successful commerce raider, attacking Union merchant and naval ships over the course of her two-year career, during which she never docked at a Southern port. She was sunk in June 1864 by USS Kearsarge.
