Vintage gents' travelling shaving set in leather case with "Minora" razor, c.1930s-50s

 

A c.1930s-50s vintage gents' travelling shaving set in a zipped brown leather case (measuring approximately 24.8 x 12.8 x 5.5cm / 9.75 x 5.05 x 2.15in), containing four cylindrical brown mottled Bakelite containers with pierced chrome lids with cream painted finish to the interiors (each measuring approximately 9.7cm / 3.8in long including lid and 3.7cm / 1.45in in diameter, and marked "MADE IN / ENGLAND" to the base), two ebony and bristle brushes (the larger stamped "NATURAL EBONY" to the side), and a brown plastic comb (stamped "FOREIGN") which may or may not be original; to the inside lid is attached a small leather pocket to hold an implement which is no longer present.  Inside one of the containers is a travel safety razor (no blades included) which disassembles into three parts (one of which is stamped "Minora / MADE IN ENGLAND"), with a small black leather or leatherette case which holds two of the parts; another contains a promotional leaflet for Enolin Tooth Paste, which appears to date from the 1930s.  There is some age wear to the outside of the leather case including scratches, scuffs, marks and indentations, and the zip fastener is somewhat stiff, whilst the leather tag attached to it is somewhat worn; the inside lid has an area of damage with old glue, and there is some peeling to the brown leather or leatherette interior.  The Bakelite containers have some scratching and surface wear together with slight roughness to the edges, and one has a large chip to the edge; the lids have varying amounts of wear including marking, pitting and verdigris.  There is some wear to the brushes including loose bristles, whilst the comb is somewhat worn with an area of melting or old glue to one end; the razor has slight wear and marking with patches of tarnish to the handle and slight rust spotting to the edges together with moderate wear to the pouch; the tooth paste leaflet is worn, creased, marked and discoloured with tearing to the centre.
