Help w/ ordering by age a few old sheffield straights
Good afternoon everyone. I like to organize the razors in my collection chronologically. Below is pictured three in my collection that I am unsure how to order. I know they are all mid 19th century blades. Any help would be appreciated.

The top razor is a Joseph Elliot with Fine India Steel etched on the blade. Not sure of date

The second one is a Wade and Butcher. Faux Frameback or "Rattler". Not sure what to call it. As a guess I would date it to the early 1850s
Attachment 258604
The last one is a Joseph Rodgers. Heavy and beautiful. I would guess later 1850's to 1860 or so.

I would really appreciate any and all input on these three in terms of their relative age and how to order them. As always, thanks in advance.
