    I have a set of those too.

    As far as I know, the Palmer was sold while you were at the Palmer Hotel. They came honed as far as I know and were left in the room you rented for the night or whatever. Like towels. They were also sold in the lobby where lots of other goodies were sold like toothbrushes and combs and such. It would have come in a Parmer box originally. But boxes just don't last as long as razors. So I'd say it is a replacement box just to store the razor in. Something someone found at the time. Most boxes get funky too. Smell bad after years.

    A razor from your family is a cherished thing. Stick around and we would be happy to teach you to use it. Get you into buying a couple more. And the next thing you know you will have hundreds of them like a lot of us.
    It's just Sharpening, right?

    As Jerry said, coffins a replacement.
    Still love my Palmer kit and take it on road trips, when I could. And will again soon enough.
    They are nicely hollow ground and mine take a great edge and seem of quality temper..
