Up for bid is a vintage English “Bengall” straight razor with a striped celluloid handle. The piece is 6 inches long when closed, and the steel is 5 1/2 inches long.  The handle is an unusual mixed yellow and brown striped celluloid.  The blade is marked “BENGALL” and “MADE IN / ENGLAND” on opposite sides, with a “W” stamped on the tail.  The piece comes in the bottom half of an old fabric-covered paper box.

Condition on the razor is fairly good.  There are a couple of surface rust spots and normal signs of use. An unusual old razor!
