Great Grandfather and Grandfather's Razor's etc. - What can you tell me about them?

Good morning Gents.

My father has my grandfather and great grandfather's razors. With my new interesting DE and straight razor shaving I asked him to send me some pictures. This is what he sent along. I thought the wealth of knowledge held by the members of this site could help me with some information on the equipment. What do you see here?

The "Blue Grass" hone is by BH&G company.

The razor on the left is a Case razor (my great grandfather's) and the one on the right is a Magic razor (my grandfather's).

He has a Strop as well that is not pictured.

Anything you can extrapolate from the pictures would be greatly appreciated?

The case is probably a Temperate. The scales appear to be warped and may have cell rot. If so meek it away from the other razor or it will affect it's scales. The other has excessive hone wear. Both can be cleaned up, honed and used. You may need new scales on the case. Good luck.

You are correct. I believe Dad said that something like temperate was printed on the other side. He couldn't really make it out.
