Hi,
With a big Thankyou to Johnmrson the razor is now in my hands!
Overall it's in pretty good condition given it's age, but there are a few less than straight teeth, and the top cap has been dropped on each corner, curling it under. This would make it impossible to get the proper blade gap!
I have a cap from an old type I could use as a donor, it's nickel plated, so wont look too out of place.
The interior of the case is well worn, the felt being worn through in a couple of places exposing the metal divider from the sections. This might make a suitable restoration project, and be a "user". I dont see it being of much interest to a collector in it's current condition.
Very happy still though, for the price I paid I cannot complain!
The blade case.. does it have the ridges on the bottom for striking matches? I bought a floral ABC on the B/S/T thread and I know the blade box isn't part of the set. Mine is smaller, doesn't fit in the blade box impression of the case and is smooth all over, no logo or writing. So I'm trying to find one that goes with the set.
