Have any of you seen a Gillette travel set like this before?

I have only seen them like this:

but none with the square box with no logo on the inner lid.

I was wondering if the logo had worn off?

i don't see how... it is clearly illustrated without a logo.

Looking at the blade boxes in the illustration, those are the same as the 1905 Double Ring, so this is obviously a very early set. I have a regular set Single Ring from 1907 with the same blade boxes. I have a travel set from 1909 with the "newer" style case and metal blade boxes. So obviously it's a very early set.

HTH.

ETA: My 1907 set has a script logo, like the one in Achim's site listed as 1906-1907 and 1908
