[matthew_calise]

P.S. if in the off chance anyone actually has or knows where one of these are i most definatly am more than "interested" in procuring this



thank you for any help and comments in advance. Matt

My guess would be that one company made the cylinder, and then purchased razors from another company (likely one of the German gillette clones) to put inside.

btw, the 4 piece travel razors like that are a dime a dozen, if that's all you're looking for. Mostly they come in small square metal cases

I didn't get a real good look at the razor in the video. But Gillette made something like that and in that time frame.

Razors like that are all over the place.

But that cylinder sure is cool.

I ran across one of these sets in an antique store a while ago. I should have bought it when I had the chance. I think I will venture across town and see if it is still there.

Wish me luck. I'll post photos if I am successful.

Sterling razor that stacks together just like this one.

Tiffany and Co. razor that is similar but doesn't look like it all fits together.
