Gillette Traveler no 4

[larzone]

Hi!
I posted this razor on Facebook but still need some information about it. I have been told its a Popular Travel Set No. 4 and that is proberly correct.

To My question, I only heard about one other set like this but I guess there are more sets out there but I cant find ANY info about my razor set.

Is there other sets like mine pictured or advertised?
My razor have seen non or very little action and brush/soap is unused.

Excuse my French but that is ****ing gorgeous!

There is no direct proof for its existence, afaik. The only hint is that in 1937 (maybe also 1936) the No. 4. Travelling set was advertised as having a Gillette razor. Other years list it with a two piece razor.

Ive been told this is a late. Maybe 1939. I think one set was sold by Razor Emporium but have not yet got that confirmed.

I've got 2 NEW #4 RFB Travellers like Achim has, but they aren't near as nice as yours...

I have seen those sets. Not the same case. My set is a mysterious one!

Correct or not, it does really look nice.

The case is the same, only the stamp changed as with the Aristocrats, in 1938 or 1939, based on this, it could be well be from 1939 (missed that part). But the travelling sets seemingly dissapear a year earlier.
On the other hand lack of ads doesn’t really mean anything, as there are also no ads for the two piece De luxes.

In early 1939 Gillette got a military contract to produce 300 000 razors for the British army and 1940 was already a war year, so I’d opt for not later than 1939.

Just posted the set I picked up and it's the same as yours albeit without the brush and not Mint. Yours is amazing. Did you track down any other sets in researching yours? I finally have an answer on it being correct case thanks to the awesome members of B&B.
