Thanks!

It is a Fleming Razor Stropper & Honer from 1908. It could take straights as well as blades and its main job was to keep the blade/razor at the correct angle on the hone or the strop:

There looks to be a Buck Model 119 in that case too,,, I'd get that if the price is right.

Its the wicked edge or apex of the early 20th century.

Neil - would this be used for other turn of the century alternates to the Straight?

Very interesting - thanks for the post and the answer.

Amazing, the turn of the last century's "Edge Pro" for stropping. :D

There are a number of newspaper ads for it, mostly dating to 1909 when it was marketed for 2 usd. All the ads say that it "...strops and hones all razors and blades, old style and safety..."
