A very nice 7-day set but we cannot give a price of how much they are worth, but they are worth as much as your willing to pay.
The only info i could find without digging deep is SAMUEL OSBORN & CO Sheffield circa 1878 - at least 1919 that's if its the same maker.

Not interested in selling
did you purchase these? they are likely gonna be fiddly given the nearwedge and the large spine. nothing too terrible, but if they are a sentimental show piece.. no issues, but if you are going to use these, please make sure you know how to hone well without trying to straighten the edges or get the geomeotry "right". If thats what you want to do, i'd get the sets that are more modern with more hollow and easier to hone..
That is a very nice set. not sure if the scales are Ivory or Bone.

This is my Joseph Rodgers and sons set has some honing wear on the spine, that was there when I bought them, when I honed them I taped the spine so that I would not put anymore wear on the spine, I plan to buy a wicked edge 3rd generation sharpener to use on the Osborn and sons razors, I have 3 Boker extra hollow ground razors but I don't care for the pulling of the whiskers when I shave and I don't get that with the Joseph Rodgers and sons set.

Whats the advantage of using a wicked edge v3 on the osbournes?

The "Wicked Edge generation 3" looks like it's a knife sharpener with "stones" starting at 100 grit and going to 1000 grit. Their "finest" grit stone is what is generally considered to be the coarsest stone one would use on a razor. I would discourage using this to sharpen razors. Honestly, not even sure how I feel about it for knives. Especially given its $900 price tag.
I’m sure you’ve thought this through, I also dont love excessive hone wear, ive seen a video of something like this, good luck, let us know how it turns out
i think you can grt 3rd party stones for these devices
