in the fifth picture does it say "england" near the scales? if so that would place them after 1890 or so (usually) but hey I'm just guessing on that, George IV reigned 1820 to 1830.
You are correct about the 1890 date. The Madrid Trade Accords of 1891 required countries to start listing the country of origin on razors not just the city where manufactured. This is one of the only true benchmarks in determining the age of old razors. Since these say Sheffield and not Sheffield, England they were made prior to 1891.
