Joseph Rodgers cased set
This set is very interesting in that the razors have no markings but look virtually unused. The set is Joseph Rodgers, but only the scissors and a small spring knife are marked with his name, and VR, so that gives at least a narrowed date range. The case is solid and quite impressive - if the razors are switched, they don't quite fit into the opposite slots; the compartments were routered for each exact item. Surprisingly the whole set is missing just one item; I'm not sure if it was a needle or tweezers or something else.

That's a gorgeous set! I can't even imagine how many months of a common mans pay it would have cost when made.

I am a bit surprised the razors are not stamped as Joseph Rodgers. I have a pair with covered tangs and they are stamped in the middle of the blade face.
Gorgeous set, and I love the scrimshaw coat-of-arms on the top!

What a stunning set. Congratulations.
May I suggest that the missing item could have been a toothpick ?Geezer and ScienceGuy like this.http://straightrazorplace.com/workshop/18504-welcome-workshop-how-do-i-where-do-i-what-do-i-answers-here.html
