This is my Dad's "VALET" Auto Srop Safety Rozor, in MODEL 'C', it comes complete with tin case and Rodgers Razor Blades, which have all been engraved with 'STAR CROSS SHEFFIELD ENGLAND' and Rodger's in nice curvy type, to ensure quality and have been kept in little paper envelopes in a little brass case with the razor.
The razor itself has also been engraved with the Valet Auto Strop name.
The inside of the case is lined with velvet too keep the razor protected.
It's interesting to own this little piece of history.
I researched this model razor on the internet and from the information I can find it was made around 1907, the time when the Victorian design style was phasing out, so is probably one of the last razor's designed this way.
