I ran across this razor and was wondering if anyone could give me any further information.

(Sorry if the pics stink; it's hard to take a decent one of something so shiny)

As per forum rules, I'm not asking for a valuation, just if anyone knows the date range this razor would have been made.

Front of blade is stamped ManganesE and back says WR Case & Sons, Bradford PA. Handles seem to be some sort of celluloid.

I was told by a neighbor that it probably dates to the early 1900s but it seems to be in immaculate shape to be that old so I'm sort of questioning that age (but I honestly have no clue). The back of the blade has a couple dark spots and the front of the blade has some very faint, small spots. Other than that, to my untrained eye it seems to be in great shape.

I don't know how to judge a razor's condition so any insight is helpful. Thanks!
 
That blade looks in very good condition nice straight & even edge. Take it to your Barber or someone you know that uses
straights to shave & knows how to properly hone the edge to get it "shave ready"
Nice find good luck.
