Your razors will most likely have very thin ox bone scales and the blade will be sheffield silver steel.
As for date. I have no idea other than they are after 1901 and were NOT made for export (Unless they say "England" on them)
Between 1875 and 1900 they were Finnigans, and became Finnigans Ltd in 1901.
Very nice set.

Thank you, I thing they are ox bone, very dood razors now they are honed and stropped

Welcome Simon, you have been blessed with good luck lately haven't you, the bottom set look like they could have Ivory scales.
