That is a nice one, I was considering it, but, I already have one like it in pretty good shape. $36 is not too bad IMO for an excellent+ quality piece.
Thanks for posting this. I always wondered about the fascination with cases. I never put the razor in a case.
Certainly worthy of your fine collection.
Arik - can this be scanned in higher resolution and added to the Wiki?
Seems to me that many questions about cases, logos and blade packs could be answered right there.
You know, for posterity sake.

I can work on that.. I do not see a fitting page for this type of staff
I'm sure we can ask one of the "Wiki smart" guys like Soapbox Richmondesi or Blackfoot.
Thanks for sharing these, saved to my reference section

One thing to notice, it was mentioned in another thread recently how the Aristocrat New and Improved is unique because it was the only N&I razor to feature bottom piece knurling that is identical to the handle's knurling.
I think we are all aware from experience that his is probably true.
However, the 1920 brochure here shows all full size razors to have same knurling at the bottom piece and the handle. Was this an artist's mistake? or, they had them all done like that initially?
