Hi Rollo, and welcome to SRP.
I don't have a definitive answer, but rather a suggestion. It could be a military-issue razor, and the numbers on the scales the regimental number (or equivalent) of the person it was issued to.
EDIT: Tom's quick!
It was in original condition, faded red, well-worn, but nice.
This was and still is my favorite combination; beautiful, original, and worn.

In the first half of the 1900s many tobacco companies issued coupons with their tobacco products, much like S&H stamps etc. These coupons could be redeemed for a wide line of products, including straight razors. Following is a photo of a razor produced for the Red Devil Tobacco Co.
