I searched for this in Frank Andrews Scottish makers list but didn't find it. I thought it may fill a gap in Scottish Glass history as well as informing myself. My late father was a mens hairdresser in Leicester from the 60's to the late 80's. Amongst his things I found a clear glass block. It measures approx 19cm lg, 5cm wide and about 1.5cm thick. At the top end it has an oval 'watermark' reading: 'FERGO-GLASS' above, and 'RAZOR HONE' below. In the centre of the oval it reads 'Special Process'. At the bottom of the block it reads: D FERGUSON & Co GLASGOW.
Would any of you experts out there be able to shed any more light on this?

Frank:
No leads on any of those names, chances are that Ferguson are not glassmakers. But not giving up to easily. If anyone is in Scotland and can get to companies house, perhaps they can look up and find out what business Ferguson were in and when.

Can you add pictures including close-ups of the wording please.

This one is at least registered in Scotlan, but online only goes back about 20 years!
