I have had this wonderful kit for a while and thought I should post it here for viewing.
The Reaper is a stroppable single edge razor system. The case has the hammered silver style of the 1920,s and is likely dated in that decade. The safety bar and blade is similar to a Rolls - and being from Sheffield they may have well seen themselves as competition to that brand of razor.
The sharpening mechanism works off of a standard valet/ever-ready style of strop size and is for stropping the razor. The frame and handle lock into the sharpener, you hang the strop and hold on similar to a valet, then slide the entire mechanism back and forth.
I hope you enjoy this one. I know I do!! You aren't going to find too many of these around!
The Reaper!!!
