did anybody know the age from this GEM set? I think it´s from the 50s, but I´m not sure.

I found this ad which claims to be from 1957. The GEM looks a lot like the one in your photos

Don't you just love the old Gem advertising?
Classic stuff.

That is a beautiful set! And that ad is pretty cool too.
oh crap. I see the Gems are soon to be vacuumed up too.
New Mike, fabulous ad.
The razor in question is the Gem Featherweight. It first appeared in Gem advertising in the early 1950s and was available with either gold or nickel plating. American Safety Razor, which produced the Featherweight, did not use serial numbers and seemingly did not keep records of the production years for their various models.
