Hi All,

I picked this up at an antiques fair this weekend. I know it is a shaving set case, but what razor would have come with it originally. When I bought it, it came with a hairbrush between the two shave stick holders which the vendor thought were for talc. Apart from the missing razor I would say that it looks unused, and the shave stick holders are immaculate. I found a single Gillette Super Silver tucked inside, this may help to identify and date the set.

Are the silver holders bakelite lined? One would be for your brush the other for your stick.

Hi,

The bottom of the holders are completely Bakelite, only the tops are metal.

Beautiful case and it appears to be in fantastic condition.
