                             Robert Rogers advertisement from May 15th 1817.


      In the above advertisement Robert Rogers not only informs his clients of the weaponry
      available but he also has a promotional price selling items at 11s.4.1/2d each or Three for £1-12s.



                                        Advertisement from 15th September 1817

                             Robert Rogers notifying his clients of his pending retirement.
            This he achieved by March 1818 having sold his business interest to Joseph Bowls.

             In future blogs we will cover the work of both Robert Rogers and Joseph Bowls.

We are always interested to know of or receive information related to the gunmakers of Cork.
