Thread: Joseph Rogers and sons No. 6

I found un unexpected treat at the local flea market today. First thing I noticed was the Wade & Butcher coffin. After pulling the razor out all I could make out is Sheffield.
I nearly passed out when he said $9.00 I didn't bother to talk him down.

Of course i get home. And realize it's a Joseph Rogers and sons. Exactly like the one in this link

But unfortunately and the reason I didn't catch it right away is half the lettering is too light and the other half is double stamped. I am still trying to figure out the age. I searched every thread on the forums and every google link I could find. And I still can't pin it down for sure. Other than someone in the link I provided saying 1840-1850. But it seams older than that based on the monkey tail and shape. Please can anyone assist with getting the age within 10 Years? or confirm that it is the correct age?





unfortunately it has a small nick which will not be fun honing out.
