This is very interesting stuff - I wonder if we'd be more judicious in selection and care of our possessions if we knew they'd be housed in a museum for viewing in perpetuity?

I'm curious about the ivory scaled straight razor - the description goes into detail on the markings on the blade but says nothing of the markings on the scales. They're very faint and I'd like to know what sort of ornamentation would have been popular at the time.
