    Default Very old straight razor box

    I have a 2-part razor box measuring 7.25 inches long. The outer shell is leather. The inner box is made of wood and divided in two by a thin wood divider. The box is covered on two sides by leather strops, and the box has a lid that swings sideways to open. There's a short ribbon to remove the box from the shell, and a longer ribbon to extract razors from the box. The shell has a fancy paper label with some areas missing. It shows a lion, a horse, a shield, a drum and a cannon with cannonballs, and the label is printed with the word "Razors". Any info about the box would be appreciated.

    No info, but nice find. I have three similar, but not quite the same. I haven't seen the leather sleeve like that before. Thanks for sharing.

    The older I get the more I realize how little I actually know.
