Apollo traveler set

Well it's not a traveler set in the usual definition of these sets, but I think the size & packing will make it one of my favorite traveling razors. Except that it's a never been used razor -- in excellent condition. The case looks a little like a change purse, but it's a nice leather case with a corded trim. Wilkinson blades were delivered with it so I would put it at the late 1950s, maybe even early 1960s. Although I'm open to modifying my estimate of its age.

Came from a little old lady in Germany -- she was liquidating her father's things. My good fortune. Rare set -- in my experience at least.

You can read the Apollo brand name more clearly on the actual inside cover -- hard to see here. And the 4-piece razor means the handle is in 2 parts, telescoping into the larger section. Like a few others, but very handy since it packs down so well.

Too bad these guys are no longer in production. I think the head is chrome plated.
 
I'd like to throw my name in the oh wait that was the HD Rocket you are PIFing.

Great set Jake. You do have an eye for beauty.....

Thanks Tom. But my minor beauties do pale next to some of your glamorous sets. Ah, for the day when we can put on a road show. And it would be cool to see how your display is set up.

Beautiful little traveler. With that tooth comb design it looks like it could deliver a great shave.
