    I can't help you with any info but they sure are pretty. I notice you said "first 7 day set". Sounds like a potential case of RAD.

    Let's see. . . . "GEBR." is the German contraction for brothers (Gebruder), like typing "BROS." in English.

    Gloins' lists a cutlery manufacturer "EMDE BROS." by name but provides no information on them.

    This Web site lists: "Gebrüder Emde, Solingen-Weyer in 1925 and 1928, Deusbergerstrasse 69 in 1939. Open-blade razor maker."

    I would surmize that your seven day set was manufactured between 1925 and 1928.

    Congrats on your find!
    Namaste,
    Morty -_-
