Wilkinson Sword Empire Model Razor in Wood Case, about 1933

This is a very nice vintage razor. It's a Wilkinson Sword Empire Model razor from about 1933. Very cool looking razor with stuff going on from every angle. The bottom of the handle loosens the head for stropping. There is an adjustment screw on the back to set the blade gap. You push on that screw to release the blade. Also includes an unopened spare blade, and an unopened box with 5 more.

As you can see in the photos, there aren't many defects to call out on this item, but here they are. The leather strop is missing, and the finish on the box isn't perfect. It does have the instruction book in the lid, but the "lift" tab is somewhat worn. The open blade has a couple of small rust spots, but they're from where it was under the blade holder. The end of the handle does have some corrosion, but it does not effect operation. It would probably benefit from something more than our standard "light clean and sterilize" process

Excellent razor for display, or perhaps even use.
