Anthony Jacoby was listed as a Barber in Atlantic City 1919-1920. Neptune razors show up occasionally. The scales do not appear to be ivory.
The other razor is most likely “Steson’s Little Wonder” made by Paul Kohl Fisher works Germany. Another good razor.

Both are fine German made razors, not highly sought after, but should provide great shaves when honed up.
Congratulations.
