Description: HERE IS A FUN FIND! IT IS A 'ROYAL STROPPER' BY GILLETTE.ROYAL CAMP GILLETTE FOUNDED THE GILLETTE COMPANY IN 1901BASED ON HIS SAFETY RAZOR...THE FIRST EVER. THIS LITTLE MECHANICAL DEVICE WAS FOR SHARPENING THERAZOR BLADES. IT WAS DEFINITELY ON THE MARKET BY THE 1930'S BUT NOT SURE HOW MUCH EARLIER.LOOKS LIKE THE RAZOR FIT ON THE UNSCREWED TOP PARTAND THEN IT ROLLED DOWN TO BETWEEN THE ROLLERS AND THE HANDLEWOUND TO SHARPEN THE RAZOR SOMEHOW....WELL THE ORIGINAL LEATHER STROPE WAS USED TO SHARPEN STRAIGHT RAZORS SO MAKES SENSE. I HAVEN'T TRIED TO UNSCREW THE HANDLE BUT IT WON'T FIT IN THE ORIGINAL BOX BOTTOM SO IT MUST HAVE COME OFF FOR PACKING.THE CHROME HAS AGED. IT WILL CLEAN UP SOME. THE BOX TOP IS LONG GONEAND THE BOTTOM IS SOILED AND HAS A TEAR.THIS IS JUST A GREAT TINY PIECE OF PRACTICAL HISTORY.HAPPY BIDDING!
