Eversharp Schick Hydro-Magic case variations any info

I was sorting some razors and noticed that I have 2 Hydro-Magics that are the same but different.
Both are razor, 20 blades (I believe the blades are original to the case) and case, that is the same.
Example A has Eversharp Schick on the head. The case has Eversharp Schick Injector recessed and 3 crowns raised on it. Under the razor in the case is a black plastic spring that push the razor up slightly when you open the case. The recessed area where the blade dispenser sets is shallow and the clear pin on the lid is short to hold the dispenser in place. Blade dispenser and razor have gold blade in them the dispenser is stamped Eversharp Hydro-Magic on top and 24 blades on the side.

Example B has Eversharp Hydro-Magic stamped on the head.The case has Evershap Hydro-Magic printer on it the blade dispenser recessed area is deeper and the pin on the lid is longer. The blade dispenser is stamped Eversharp Schick Injector on top and 20 blades on the side.B397EAEF-4615-4D1C-8F2B-EBFAF46A4023_1_201_a.jpegF1B59791-7D04-4DE0-B576-0A2856293F8E_1_201_a.jpeg


The bottom of the 2 cases are also slightly different. Both have the same Pat Pending stamps.The upper case is Example A the lower case is B. Example B has 3 holes along the left side and the oval area to the left of the Pat Pending oval has a 7 stamped in it. Example A it is hard to see the oval area to the left is a hole.

I do know that Schick razors were marketed under the Eversharp name with different handle colors, etc. I have a DE and a type L with the Eversharp eagle marking on them. I think some of these were not meant for the US market. You also see the Lady Eversharp razors without Schick markings.

Having said all of the above, notice this razor is marked Schick on the card, but only Eversharp on the case and razor.

Off topic, but I am a new member so cannot PM. Bobbers, I'm interested in one of your open Personna Floating Head Razors. Seems like a fine mechanical device. Is it peak mechanical engineering before cartridges took over?
