How old is this razor blade?

I picked up a Gillette Old in a vintage store today, and it came in it's box with the blade box and in the blade box was an empty blade paper and one that still has a blade in it. The blade has 3 holes in it. Here is an image of the blade wrapper:

Can anybody tell me how old that blade might be? Just curious, I am not going to use it, a bit crufty, but I can make out most of the printing. They were very verbose back then, weren't they?

There is actually a number on the blade: 2146

Whatever that means.

thanks,
jim
