Thanked: 46Joseph Rodgers razors dating - infos need?
I will appreciate if anyone can tell me when Joseph Rodgers start to mark razors with "Cutlers to Their Majesties".
Was it before 1901. or after 1901. when King Edward VII come to throne.
I read two different oppinions:
1st says that they marked their razors with "Cutlers to Their Majesties" in time Queen Victoria because the old queen, even when Albert died, didn't remove his name from the Royal Title as a proved of love and respect - TO THEIR MAJESTIES - meaning Victoria & Albert)"
2nd says that they marked it with "Cutlers to Their Majesties" after 1901. - when King Edward VII comes to throne because they want to show that they was in business under 5 different monarchs.
