They seem to be in pretty good shape. They need polishing but have good unchipped edges and are pretty sharp.. I tried shaving with them and was able to, but I stopped because I haven't used a cutthroat before and thought I'd wait till I get my shave ready one so I know what it's like.

They have two different makers, WH Morley and Sons, and Genco, but they have the same bakalite handles, so I assume they were rescaled by someone previously.

Bakelite scales have been used a lot in the past so many black scale look like their neighbours!

Looks like you did very well. Get them honed and start shaving!

Nice catch! Both very respectable brands
