I cant seem to find this on MR RAZOR or the Wiki... Does anyone have any better info on this? it looks closest to a 1917 standard set, but I know that isnt it.

Nope. It's a 1920 Standard Set -- specifically, it was Gillette's No. 460B set. Remember that Achim's collections are examples of different sets, not the totality of what existed. That is, you shouldn't look at what Achim has as "a 1917 Standard Set," but rather a metal-cased Standard Set (i.e., a No. 460B set) from 1917. That same set was made over a number of different years, as is the case with nearly all of the examples Achim has. The serial number on yours would put it at 1920.
