ABC Gillette pocket set owners, help

[GentsInstinct]

I'm trying to match up the right style of metal blade box with my floral ABC set. I know the one that's with it isn't the right one as it's too small for the blade box indention in the case.

Got pictures of your ABC sets? Post them here, especially of the blade box. I'd like to see how many variations there are, were, etc. Some with GILLETTE BLADES text stamped in the cap, some with the Gillette diamond logo on the sides of the cap, some with "match strikers" on the bottom, etc. I've seen so many different ones so let me see what you have. It'll be a big help to me as I look for the proper one for my set. Thanks!

Yeah, I've seen those 2 ABC threads but there's really no pictures of the metal blade boxes/banks in the sets. That's what I'm focusing on to try and find a correct one for my set.

If you have a copy of The Complete Gillette Collector's Handbook, see pages 144 to 155. If you don't have it, Google it, or Phillip Krumholz. He usually has copies available for around $35. If you collect Gillettes, it is a great reference. If you have a specific question, we will try to help, although mixed sets seem to be common.

Did those links I sent you work out?

They were identical to the one in my abc set!

Yes, I have them saved but I've since been informed they aren't original ABC blade boxes as the ABC blade boxes didn't have match strikers on the bottom of them. That's why I'm wanting see what everyone else has.

Here you can see my gold plated 1911 ABC Pocket Edition No503-B with Flower-Pattern razor and my silver plated 1914 ABC Pocket Edition No503 with Shell-Pattern razor. Both sets comes with a blade case with match strikers on the bottom, Gillette Logo on the side and "Gillette Blades" on the top, like my other ABC-sets.

+1 Every set that I have that came with a blade case is as Achim shows. That is about 10 sets.
