Really happy with this even though it needs help. Double notch rodgers are hard to come by.

Sweet project! That should be a ton of fun to bring back. And I predict that the results will be simply stellar.

I know this is not a SR but thought some would appreciate seeing. A C.V. Heljestrand Seven Day Set imported by Magnus Kindal of Paris. Complete with all parts, blades, strop, and directions for use on onion paper

That is a diamond in the rough, nice
Never had one of the heljestrand lather catchers. Thought about it a few times but never pulled the trigger.
That's a really nicely preserved set. I hope that it's OK for me to add a little information. In the mid 1920's the Swedish/French businessman Magnus Kindal bought the Heljestrand company after having cooperated with them for a few years. The M.K. marking on some Heljestrand products is Magnus Kindal's initials. Kindal also liked to add flair to his products hence the three crowns that is Sweden's royal coat of arms symbolising the three original Swedish kingdoms that were united to one at the end of the Viking era. Once again a very nice set, thank you for sharing.
This one will come back to life. How much visible experience do you want to leave with this great razor?
Very nice. I love old sets and preserved boxes. When I saw this one I couldn't pass. 7 day set in ivory, MK31.
Holy Moses!
They seem to be NOS. I'm glad that I didn't see them, I would have sold my left kidney for those.

Thank you gents. Yup, NOS. I was super excited when I found them but have not had the courage to touch them yet. They are being used as eye candy for now
In total awe over here in New Hampshire!
Looks Amazing!! Is it the date that decides to scales ie ivory or not??
Looked at this for a long time and just had to have it. On its way from Japan. Great seller!!
Well today was the day when my latest score arrives, well it did arrive in style I made an offer on a razor called Robert Klaas Crane Brand. Got it very cheap the shipping cost way more than the razor, this was 2 of the pictures that was shown.
So it was sort of a blind buy but as I said it arrived this morning well to exact 15 mins ago, all I have done is open the packet and taken 3 pictures and uploaded them to my laptop and then make this post.
So here is the Robert Klaas Crane Brand
But this razor is part of a seven day set I now have Saturday, just need the other 6 to go with it and make a full set...

In a way yes. Between 1939 and mid 1945 the Swedish import was very restricted. Only goods of strategic importance was allowed to be shipped in. Swedish sailors died to transport it. Between 1945 and 1947 there were strict import restrictions, no luxury items were imported. In 1949 selling ivory was made illegal. So if you find a Swedish razor in ivory scales you can be pretty sure that it was made prior to September 1 1939, or shortly after when the stock of ivory ran out.
Fresh in from a good friend of mine.....this beautiful Red Point.
(note: petrolium jelly on blade from shipping)
That is a beautiful red point and I bet you have its twin aswell Dean....
