Thread: Mappin & Webb Royal

Is "Mappin Bros." the same company being talked about?

The reason I ask is that this company is also located on Regent St in London. 220 Regent I believe, but I've seen a box with their logo, and it doesn't look like the one posted under the SRP database for razors.

The one here is a Sun or an M with "Trustworthy" underneath it. The one I've seen on the box has a picture of 2 lions on either side of what looks like a vase.

Any thoughts or further information regarding the difference?

I believe first there was Joseph Mappin, then Mappin Bros, then Mappin & Webb, but I may have the order wrong.

Does the double Lion emblem sound about right? I've been trying to dig around the SRP database and google, and can't seem to find that emblem anywhere.

This is the one I'm talking about but can't find confirmation of it's authenticity anywhere.

I don't think I've seen that one before, but that doesn't mean much - I've not seen all that many Mappins.

Yeah also upon further examination it looks like the "Lion" on the right is actually a Unicorn....lol
