I'm guessing that since the Kewtie appears to have been a failed razor design, and made in the 1920's-1940's... I'd consider it a safe bet to say that whatever blades you can find are pretty much going to be all that are available. I see a lot of sites that claim the Kewtie was a promotional item as well (but I don't know how much truth there is to that), so in the event that it actually is a promotional item, I would think that replacement blades will be few if any.
If you were looking for a modern equivalent, I would suggest a Merkur #907 Trim Razor: http://bestgroomingtools.com/moustache-beard-safety-razor-merkur-p-67.html

That thing is tiny. I think that would be too small for me. I'll stick with easier available razors for now.

Well, this is one of those times where I goofed up between thinking it and typing it. 
The box says the Kewtie is good for leg/arm hair removal, eyebrow shaping, and "giving the perfect under arm shave". When I suggested the Merkur as a modern equivalent, I had the razor's more delicate uses in mind, not just leg/under arm shaving. I neglected to mention those two things previously. Sorry.
I'm going to proclaim the root cause as "inadequate coffee consumption prior to posting".

More coffee is always good.
