About the Maker

Rodgers, James
Rodgers, James

James Rodgers (1758-1829), who apparently established James Rodgers & Co. Neither James Rodgers nor his firm were listed in directories, but razors with that company name and the date 1825 have survived. James Rodgers was joined by Philip Unwin (1800-1878). Three years later, Unwin & Rodgers appeared in a Sheffield directory as a manufacturer of pen, pocket and desk knives, pearl slides, clasps, and buckles. James Rodgers died in 1829, and was buried in St Paul’s churchyard. Philip Unwin and his descendants operated the business thereafter.
