I'd like to find a 1948 (birth year) super speed with case, but it appears that there is no easy way to differentiate 1947 from 1948 from 1949 with these razors (except that 1947-48 ones came in a cardboard box). Does anyone know a way to do that, to make sure that what I'm getting - when I make an offer here or elsewhere - is really a 1948? Thanks.

The 48 and 49 razors are the same but in different sets. The 1948 Super-Speed was the first Super-Speed with notches and comes in a cardboard. The 1949 Super-Speed comes in a red styrene case.

Where are the notches? Thanks.

The original 1949-50 red styrene case is the one without the side grooves, which were added later ('51?) to fit into the cardboard countertop merchandise display. Quite often we find the newer-style cases with the '48-'49 razors in them.
Achim, thank you for this gorgeous example.
here you can see the difference:

Yes, I didn't know that either about the difference in cases. Thanks.
