What are you going to do with the picture? If you don't mind a suggestion, I would frame it and either hang it or give it to a local American Legion Post.

Cool little score. Is that really a pigskin strop, though? I'm interested in hearing how that one works.
Something up there loves you! Niiice!

I know how you feel, I used to buy every set I could find
Pigskin strops are dimpled like that. I had one and did not really notice any difference in edge quality over others. They are interesting looking however!
Out of curiousity, what differentiates a New Deluxe from a plain old New?
What a score!!
All that stuff, a pig strop & a photograph of the old owner, I can only dream about a find like that.
Congratulations!
PM me if you're ever looking to sell that "HANS"
Looks like you did very nice on this one. 
Nice find. Someday, I should be so fortunate.
Wow, you lucked out there!
