Thanks a lot Voidmonster!
A new acquisition on my part, I’ll have a lot more to say about it later over in Show & Tell, but it seriously belongs here!
A modest dressing kit by the Mosley family, circa 1847-1855. All original. Sterling silver pencil / pen combo, silver plated accessories. Razor scales are bone with pique work. Razors made by Henry Hobson & sons.
You know how often I say generic razors can’t be traced to a manufacturer? This is an incredibly rare example of that not being true.

Good LORD, that is amazing. I'm so jealous right now...just WOW. Where did you find it?
I'm trying to "assemble" a 7 day set as well! With some sort of a 'theme' too, the hard part is getting a nice vintage box to keep it all in. Sure I can get/fashion a modern one, but vintage is more fun.
Oh that is a fun idea, the 7 day set and space for the brush and stuff too! I love the "BUILT...REBUILT" label as well. Did you make that box yourself then?
Really classy set. Everything is well-designed and finished. It seemed to be a top-class fabricant. :chapeau
What is that pair of little metal things Zach ?
Wow it still has the keys. That's amazing.
