Antique Shaving Gear Photos

A couple more I passed on, and one I bought. What should I have paid for the Ever-ready as shown? What is that tubular piece of metal for? I'm also kind of confused by the blade cases as they don't fit together.

It's a stropping handle. It probably goes with the razor head, but not the handle (also the case doesn't go with the head, either). It would go on the end of the original handle and you'd put the blade in the slot and you could strop the blade on your razor strop. The two cases aren't intended to fit together. Probably one for sharp blades and one for dull.

This is neat stuff!
