Questions about a shaving set (Rooney)

I picked up a lot off of ebay with a few vintage gillette DE's and a few other odds and ends, it also came with a Rooney shave set in the box titled "the hunt". The brush appears to have a porcelain handle with a fox on it, and the shaving dish is porcelain and has a scene with hunters on horseback. The set is used, as the "razor" that came with it has no head. I was wondering if any of you guys know anything about this set, as far as value or what not. I've tried to search for anything on this set, but so far I haven't been able to find much.

I'll try to put some close up pics on here later, but for now here is a link to the auction with photo.

Sorry, let me try it like this.

locust-I have a vague recollection that thirdeye (a mod here and proprietor of Gentlemen's Best) received a set like that from a member here about a year ago or so. Other than that, I know nothing about it. Great looking set, though!
 
I've seen a few of those sets pop up on eBay. I've seen at least 3 different hunting scenes on them. In addition to the set that beginish mentioned thirdeye having, luvmysuper picked up a set relatively recently. The razors I've seen had Trac ll heads on them. At a guess I would say that they would date from the 1970's.
I have no idea as to value since I've only tracked 3 or 4 sales from beginning to end and the ones I've seen have ranged from the low $20's up to $100.
