Hi, Mike. I'll try to recall from memory.What a great thread, I'm surprised it's been inactive so long, but I've got some ABC vs Gillette questions.
From what I've read ABC cases have the engraving on the bottom of the case and Gillette made sets do not.
I've also read that Gillette cases patch has the "made in USA" on it and ABC patches are the gold on blue without "made in USA" on them.
SOOOO, here's my question: Does it always mean the case is made by Gillette w/o engraving on the bottom of the case?
I ask because I've got a shell razor (C70023, basket weave case and match strike blade bank) in a case WITH the blue on gold label (not "made in USA") and NO ENGRAVING on the bottom. Seems ABC due to the patch and Gillette due to the lack of engraving on the bottom.
Additionally, it's the 4 rivet push button case.
TIA!
Mike
Yes, it can be a an ABC without the script on the bottom of the case. Gillette cases will have the patch with MIUSA or they have a printed logo on the liner. The Gillette cases will look more squared off and abit taller. I hope I explained that right.
To me, you are describing an ABC set. Do you have a photo?
