No worries, just keep active here and you'll have the posts and day under your belt in no time!
It's all good. I have accidentally broken a rule or two myself and been admonished by an admin. Live and learn. Welcome to B&B!
Don't worry, Emma (Can I call you "Emma?"). Loved you in "The Avengers." 
i lurked for over a year before signing up, knew the rules, and still managed to break one and get admonished for it. It happens.

I am re-posting the pictures of the old razor, I'm still hoping someone can provide some additional information like the year of manufacture etc. Thanks to all who responded to the original post. Mrs Peel
By the way I do get called Emma Peel every once in a while, I even named my dog Emma.

Fascinating. I have never seen one like it. The only other Sterling Silver Travel Razor I know of is on this page
http://www.mr-razor.com/Rasierer/New Improved/New Improved.htm
...upper right corner....the Sterling Silver Traveler and the Tiffany set halfway down the page. That one comes up about 1-2 times a year. Hopefully, someone else can be of more help.

Well, the razor head itself is a Gillette New Improved model, which would put its manufacture sometime during the 1920s just on that basis. The standard American New Improved serial numbers used A, B, and C-suffixed ranges throughout their run. The conventional wisdom was that the S-suffixed serial numbers were for sterling silver heads; however, I recently acquired this gold New Improved De Luxe set that also had an S serial number, so now I'm not so sure.
Regardless, I'm not aware of any good information on how to exactly line up these S-series numbers with any particular dates. The best we could probably do is guess that based on your relatively low number it was towards the earlier part of the decade than the later.
Are there no other markings anywhere on the case at all?
