Sweet Find. The Yankee Razor Co. changed their name to Ever ready in 1905 and this looks like a very early model to me. So 1905 1906 I would say. Super close to the Kampfe design as the owner used to work for the Kampfe Bros before starting Gem and Yankee -

Thanks SF, I was wondering since there was no "face" on the underside of the razor, and the manufacturer is listed as "R&S. Mfg Co. NY"

Thanks all for the nice comments, This one was buried on a table full of junk, Sometimes digging is worth it LOL, Anytime I can pick up a cased set I am happy! Even came with 7 original Ever Ready blades!

Jerrry Reichard and August Scheuber were R& S and made the Yankee/Ever ready razors. Jerry was the one who worked for Kampfe, started Gem Cutlery went on to Yankee and Ever ready.
