Thread: Hello

Hello, from upstate New York.

I have an old razor, a Joseph & Rodgers and Sons. It has been in the family for a long time. Wondering if anybody could help me date it.

It is marked Cutlers to THEIR Majestys I believe, the last two letter are very hard to read. It also has The Celebrated on the blade, which could have been done later.

Thanks for any help.

Looks like we have a mystery on our hands, Could you post pictures of the razor and the marking so that we can see it to help you find what how old it is.

Based on the information that I have been able to gather thus far it looks like these razors were made a long time ago as an excusive to crowned heads of eastern europe.

Welcome to the forum. Where in Upstate NY are you located?

Pictures would be a big help to help you date this razor.

Hello, erwt1000:

Welcome to Straight Razor Place. You have a prized razor brand in your hand. I am sure our razor experts here will be able to date it for you; however, pictures would help enormously.

Regards,

Welcome to SRP! Just curious, did any goodle searches tell you any details about it? It may help give our brand savy members a jump start.

Thanks guys. I will try to get a picture of it up tonight.

I am in the Adirondack area of New York, we moved up here a year ago.

Here is a picture of the razor, case, and strop. I believe the strop is original. Any help would be appreciated.

i will try to get a better picture of the razor.[IMG]file:///C:/Users/Wendy/Pictures/2010-09-23/003.JPG[/IMG]
