Looks to me to be a late '40s Rocket based on the 'Patent pending' and 'Made in England' stamps on the base along with the solid knob.
My mum says she remembers him using it whenever his electric razor broke down.
There was a pack of Wilks with it that look a lot more recent.

The TTO mechanism still works and, overall, it looks pretty good. The TTO is a little bit stiff and there is some corrosion on the post, however.
I could have a go at restoring it myself, but, do any Aussies out there know of anyone who restores/cleans/re-plates safety razors in or around Melbourne, or indeed, in Oz?
