    Default Verinder StPauls



    I found this razor yesterday and I have been trying to find some info in it. The best I can find it appears to be a Sheffield. I would love to find out more about it. Any additional information would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you
    Tom

    Verinder At St. Pauls Churchyard in London, not a Sheffield razor. The history of this family of cutlers at Churchyard in London dates back to 1766.

    I think your razor is from the late 1800's, the history of this family is very complicated because there are many Henry and John's and Henry John etc. Nevertheless a beautiful London razor.

    I have done a lot of research into the VERINDER, Cutler family as my ancestor, William VERINDER was also a cutler. He was the elder brother of John VERINDER of St. Paul's Churchyard. The brothers had been born in the City of Gloucester and were sent to London as boy apprentices, becoming members of the Cutler company after 7 years. My ancestor, (William) was the elder brother starting his apprenticeship in 1758 and gaining his Freedom in 1765. This was also the year that his brother, John, arrived in London and began his 7 year apprenticeship. John was bound to Joseph BAYSAND, Cutler, of St Paul's Churchyard for 7 years. In 1767, Joseph Baysand was chosen as Master of the Cutler Company, but died a year or two later before John had completed his apprenticeship. With the consent of Ann BAYSAND, widow, John VERINDER was turned over to James LYON for the remaining years, finally gaining his Freedom in 1772. For a few years the brothers worked together, with William being the senior partner. When James LYON of St Paul's Churchyard died, that was when the brothers parted company as Mary LYON, widow, offered the business to John VERINDER, who had served the later part of his apprenticeship under James LYON. This is the background to the VERINDER's of St. Paul's Churchyard. John VERINDER died in 1807 and his son Henry VERINDER took over the business. Henry VERINDER, had completed his apprenticeship in 1798 and had become a Liveryman in 1800. In 1826 he was appointed Assistant Warden of the Cutler Company and became signatory to the annual accounts of the Company. In 1835 he was made Warden of the Company and appointed Company Cutler to supply all knives and forks for Dinners at the Company Hall. In 1844 he became Master of the Cutler Company, the highest position there was. Henry died in 1846 and a specific bequest to his son, John Henry was "the silver cup presented to me by the Cutlers of London

    I am continually impressed with the kind of information members of this community are able to contribute on the history of razors. Just WOW!
