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.
