It was missing one blade Alex. I put a modern SE in the slot, just to fill it. Is something missing from the end of the handle? It has threads there, and the handle for the strop will screw into it. But it doesn't look right.
its on case, you tell by the latch, is it flip open or slide open latch?Where would it be?

I'm kind of surprised that a razor blade manufacturing company would include a strop handle with their razor, making it easy for customers to extend the life of DISPOSABLE blades is kind of self-defeating.
sweet, congrats
i picked up a gem junior that's pretty close to that, the case is identical except mine says gem junior on the cross band, not gem cutlery co.
what does your instruction sheet say ?
mine only has a sales slip and a "favor" card that reads(the bold is bolded on the card) :
A FAVOR
If you will kindly tell your
friends what a boon the "Gem
Junior" really is, and where
you bought it, you would confer a
great favor to them, the dealer and
the manufacturer.

Why do people collect these old Gems? Do you shave with them? Are they increasing in value? Saw a few yesterday at some junk shops but didn't bite on any of 'em because I didn't have enough knowledge to know the value.
