Dixie Manufacturing was not in existence during the Civil War. They didn't come into play until the mid late 1890s. I am trying to find out a little more about Union Razor Cutlery because I believe this company was after Dixie, when Dixie Manufacturing diverted more into producing other goods. I believe National Razor from all accounts came later on, after Dixie and Union Razor/Union Cutlery. It will be interesting to find out the relationship between all three companies. But with a little more time and research, I should be able to get a bit more information and try to put the pieces together.
