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.
