Could someone help me date this Gilette 7'o clock bakelite set?

Hi,

I just recieved this Bakelite set off the bay yesterday and according to the seller, it is a pre-1930 vintage set but that was all he knew. I was hoping someone might be able to help me identify exactly when it was made. I could not find any type of UPC code or anything like that on the set. It just says made in England on it a few places. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Sorry about the picture size on this. I didn't realize they were so small. I will add updated pics when I go home from work this afternoon.

Well, I think I answered my own question but I found my set here....

Most of it does look like a British NEW set from the 1940's. It's hard to tell from the small pictures, but the razor in your first picture looks like a bakelite Wardonia.

Bigger pictures would definitely help.
