I survived a lathey foreman
I was buying some Vintage Gillette razors at a Antique store and the fellow who owned the store was showing me some scuttles when I came across this relic. The sharpener hone was patented in the 1930's(dirty thirties) so that could tell us that blades were expensive and scarce for folks who had very little and had to watch every penny.
I have seen different versions of this sort of a sharpener hone, but this glass is very dark and black.
The thirties brought out a lot of invitations to try and survive and it made north Americans more frugal in there effort to survive a financial disaster.
This MFG even went to the extreme to patented the device to protect his ideas.
