And now for something different...
Found this little gem on a table at the flea market today. A Winchester shell case(marked WRA CO 18) with what appears to be a portion of another casing flattened with a slot cut into the bottom & soldered tn the 1st case. A single edge razor is slid into the slot to create a small shaving razor! The blade can be inserted upside down for safe carrying. The head stamp as far as l can tell is pre-1940. Possibly made during WWII.

I wonder, was this awesome little contraption born out of boredom or necessity 
That's my Etsy store where I sell old knives and sometimes handmade knife accessories to support my knife habbit. Thanks for looking my friend.

Nice find. May be a one of a kind.
