Wow! I have this exact same razor. Mine did not come with a travel case, but it does have the original instruction sheet for using it. These were made in England and patented there as well as here in the US. It has a date stamped on one side in the emblem of 1927. It is well used, but the hone and strap are in very good condition. I can barely make out engraved on one side of the blade in faint script "Best Sheffield Steel" and on the other "Rolls Razor Pat Nos 24578 242 1/8. I wonder what it's worth?
