I was hoping you could give me some insight on a relic I found this weekend. It is either a pocket knife or a razor with a brass handle. This came from an 18th century site that also had encampments during the Revolutionary War but it was also inhabited up until the early 1900s. Is this item colonial? I looked through some sources but could not find a match. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Maybe razor.
Victorian none the less.

Thanks, the one I found has no markings. I haven't seen any with a floral design even similar to the one i found. There are tons of knives & razors online so tough to sort through everything.
