Can anyone help with information on this razor & tarantella stropper set?

[Reevers]

I spotted a vintage razor and tarantella box set while out looking through local flea market offerings today. I've managed to find a low res' picture of the set I saw, on another website (pic below). Of the pieces that I picked up and looked over there were no significant markings and the woman who was selling couldn't tell me much either. I though if anyone was able to shed some light on this unusual piece, B&B would be a great place to start. Any info or other web links, would be fantastic.

Thanks as always chaps!

looks like 2 different razors in 1 box..

Hi smalltank, if you're referring to the picture in the thread (not the other picture in the link) then the box consists of an open comb razor, blade case, a rotary sharpening device (the large piece that takes up 3/4 of the box) a small tub for holding cutting compound and a leather honing wheel that can be swapped out for the fitted stone wheel.

So all in all it is 1 razor and one sharpening tool.

I'm looking for any information on the manufacturer ([FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Emil Klock and Co. I believe), any possible production dates, collect-ability factor of these pieces... that sort of info.

Thanks[/FONT]

What are you trying to do, collect? This a stropping set, it strops blades. The razor in your set don't belong there. These are not rare.
