    A hand made, white bone-handled razor with its history carved on both sides was in the possession of Miss Sarah B. Reynolds in 1916. On one side was carved: "1779. Abrm. Reynolds Got this raor from his father, Samuel) who said it 'shaved his grandfather' (Henry). On the reverse side, "who came in the first vessel in the DELAWARE IN THE YEAR 1661. This would make Henry six years old when he came to America. Possibly an error was made recording the date in the Bible and this error was continued when the razor handle was engraved in 1779. The location of this razor, or the Bible, is unknown.
