Canadian Open Comb with smooth ball-end

Hi everyone. I just got this little set at an antique store by me and I'm having a really hard time identifying it on Mr-Razor. From what i've noticed I can't seem to find anything with the ball end that's smooth like mine is. The underside of the head says Made in Canada on the left side and the Gillette logo on the right. There is what looks like a patent/serial number on the open-comb part that says 03?176. The middle number is either a 9 or a 0, I can't tell. it came cased and with a blade box with a few old blades. The old blades also say made in canada (pat. march 7 1905) and the other side says 280.

any chance any of you can help me identify this

Thanks
 
looks like a No502 Shell patern Pocket Edition Made in Canada. The canadian ball end handle Old Types from this time (maybe around 1915) have a thinner handle than the US razors.
