Rodgers Ivory Scaled Two Razor Set Age and Legitimacy?

[shotgunnersteve]

Hi all,

I just joined the Forum and I have a question for all you early SR fans. I recently bought these razors online. They were kind of a "pig in a poke", but I got a good price on them.

They ended up being a nice set of mustache razors with scrimshawed ivory scales. Really nice shape for their age and very fragile looking.

My questions are that I know many Rodgers razors have been forged over the years (or were simply the wrong Rodgers). These have very worn lettering that appear to say Rodgers Warranted, but that's only a guess on my part. The other question is their age. They look to be from 1800-1820, but I saw a similar razor in Phil Krumholz's book that referred to the 1700s.

What do you guys think?

Best regards,

Steve
