Here are some photos of a Copley set in brown case (1921-1928)

nice set. I know the Copley set only as Old Type set. It comes with a brown and a blue case.

Yes. This is the only set I ever had. The case to me is very unusual ans interesting. I also think it is noteworthy that Gillette would just put the same razor in another case and give it another name as if it was a new development.

Special gift for Gillette visitors they put up in the Copley Hotel during their stay in Boston. That said, I don't think the 1930's New came in that case.

Good observation but it appears both the Old Type and the New appeared in this case. Below is a link showing a NEW in this case.

I never knew about the Hotel connection. Thanks for sharing that piece of history.
