W.R Case and Sons Bradford PA on one side. King of Whiskers on the other. I want to give it a try but will have to wait until it gets honed.

Congratulations: give us a full report after your first shave. Those old case razors are excellent shavers.
Case indeed are excellent razors. While waiting to get it honed, you can use some Maas polish to clean it up just a touch. It's in nice shape overall, a bit of a shine and it's good as new.

Also of note: I'm obviously not a great photographer.
If I might make a suggestion, don't rest the blade on anything like it looks like you're doing in your last 2 pictures. They are very delicate. Once honed it should never touch anything but your face and a strop...until you get to honing yourself.
