Up for sale is a George Wostenholm frameback. She's just over 7/8 at the widest, and says Geo Wostenholm's Doubly Carbonized I-XL Razor on the "frame" and has Registered 10 Sept I-XL 1850 No 2434 on the tang. I don't think that is the year the razor was made, nor the number of the razor, since these have the same markings

I'm pretty sure this one has a stubber tail, so I'm guessing it's older.
Aside from the light staining you can see in the pictures, there is one problem with the scales. On one of the scales, the inner part has been somehow worn away. When you look down on the scales, you can see a fair amount is missing. I'm not sure how it happened, since the blade centers and is not damaged. I'll try to get a pic of that up tomorrow when the light is better.
She is shave ready, and a fine shaver at that. The "collector" in me wants to keep her, because she's beautiful. The "shaver" in me needs more clearance over his thumb.
I'd like to get $100 shipped ConUS via non-CC PayPal, but if that's too high, please let me know. I'm asking that much because I've only seen two others (in the linked thread), she's great to look at, and she took a keen edge quite easily. Oh yeah, and I have no idea what she might actually be worth.
Here are two pics I already had; I'll get a shot of the scale damage and the other side tomorrow:
