A quick check of "Waits Compendium" tells me that it might be the "Popular" model. From what I saw the deluxe models were actually kits that also contained a Rolls Razor.

I believe you are correct with respect to the deluxe, they did come as full kits. Currently reading your thread on your Rolls Razor Adventure, very informative! This particular Rolls is for sale, but I believe he's asking too much at $100, although I don't usually see the Popular model in listings.

Thanks Toby! I'm tempted to get it but it seems a bet steep for a Rolls, even if it's a rare version.

I paid near or over $100 for my complete (with extras) Rolls by buying the razors as substandard "sets". But I also got lots of extras to work with and IMO that's important if you actually want to shave with it. But I'm not a collector and just a user so mismatched items mean nothing to me.

I'm definitely someone who uses all my razors. I'll think about it, I like the handle, subtle yet still different from the other Rolls.

This is a rare model. It differs from subsequent models, the fact that the handle is telescopic and the blade is smaller. And of course the body.

Ooh! That's a rare model from the 20's! Silver plated.

Some great info, thanks gents.
I knew it was smaller but I didn't know it was silver plated and that the handle is telescopic! Still mulling over this, he's also selling a Darwin and I can get both but it'll come out to be quite pricey.
