Vintage Rolls Razor and Shaving Kit Lot
This lot brings together a selection of vintage shaving equipment, led by a boxed Rolls Razor. The mixed group also includes a Ronson shaving unit in its black case with a plug attachment, a Valet Auto-Strop safety razor in its purple hinged case, and several loose razors and fittings. Together they offer a varied look at shaving equipment from the early to mid twentieth century.
The Rolls Razor is presented in its original orange and black card box, which carries the maker’s name and the wording “Patented in England and Abroad” and “Made in England by Rolls Razor Ltd London”. The Valet Auto-Strop safety razor sits in a metal case with a purple lid bearing the maker’s name and “Safety Razor”. The Ronson unit is housed in a black moulded case with its lid and cable visible. The loose items include a T-bar safety razor with a pale handle, a further razor with a long handle, a small dark metal blade holder and a clear plastic blade cover.
Condition and Collectors’ Interest
The Rolls Razor box shows general signs of age, including wear to the card and corners. The Valet case and the loose razors show ageing consistent with their period, and the lot is offered as seen. No testing has been carried out, so the functionality of the electric unit and the condition of any blades cannot be confirmed. Prospective buyers should inspect the lot carefully before bidding.
