As Rocketman says it will be interesting to see if anyone can come up with any Advertising Material/ Original boxes that confirms the common idea that the ER Streamline in the Shiny Steel Box , was sold as a Jewel set. This is the one in question. Here we are, not too late I hope.Picked this up a couple of months ago. Still wrapped and never used and the paperwork confirms it was sold as a Jewel. Great shaves whatever you call them

What a fantastic find, where on earth did you get it. I have been calling my set a Jewel for some time and now feel vindicated. Can you show photos of the minty case which must look really good.

My giddy aunt, what a find. I would be ecstatic to find an example like that. Congratulations.

It was an eBay find, not cheap but less than I've seen some unboxed Streamlines go for, probably because it was listed as a "Jewel" and Under "Antiques" so there was less interest than there might have been. Thanks for asking for a picture, a good excuse to show off. Here is the outer case

My one just arrived in the strop outfit set. I have only cleaned the razor itself yet, not the box and the stropper. It costed less than third of any price I ever saw. Since the seller didn't put the word Streamline into the title or the item description, on one hand I'm not sure he knew what he sold, on the other hand saved eBay searches were not triggered and I could be lucky to pull the trigger. Sounds like a very good find, it's nice when that happens! It would be nice to see the whole set when you have it cleaned up.

It is so dirty, I'd like to submerge it in water with some detergent, but I'm afraid that the hinges of the box and the blade holders, and the latch will start rusting. Also it would feel nice to repaint the golden Ever-Ready letters on the top of the box. Model paint maybe?

View AttachmentView AttachmentView AttachmentI really am no expert on cleaning but I think you are right to avoid immersion, also any paint on the letters will be very easy to accidentally remove. Repainting is probably best left until you have lived with it a while, I don't know the best paint to use but perhaps others do. That's my one next pic up from yours so no cleaning or paint😉
