Need Help Identifying Old Beater

[Chrisd703]

Hi All,

I need help identifying this old piece that was handed down to me in a knife collection. Mostly interested out of sheer curiosity because I've never owned a straight razor and it at least seems old.

As you can see, the only legible mark is a "Key" picture. There are the faintest signs of letter on the blade, but they can't be seen enough to decipher.

Thanks so much!

Chris
