Info on this Gold NEW Bakelite Set?

[Ace McCool]

Gents,

Picked up this set from a flea market from a guy who has owned it for 30+ years. It is a Gold NEW (Made in Canada) in a brown bakelite case. I can't find any evidence of this set on Mr-Razor but I don't have reason to believe it would be mismatched as it seems the NEW was the first razor to come in a bakelite case.

The closest I can find are the following 2 sets, but where these say "Made in England" on the case, mine is blank.

Any info is appreciated.

Thanks.

Still a great looking and shaving razor the Gillette NEW, regardless of case. Are you going to use it?

 

[Ace McCool]

Thanks. Yes I will use it, but I'm more of a collector so I prefer matching sets. What razor belongs with this brown bakelite case then? Is it the NEWs from the links I posted to Mr-Razor? Keep in mind those are Made in England and mine is Made in Canada.

There is also this: http://www.mr-razor.com/Rasierer/Tech/1948 AustraliaTech Set No77 England.JPG

I believe the 2 piece British NEW belongs in that case making it a #77 set

Thanks. It seems there is no way to tell if it is from a #77 or this tech set. http://www.mr-razor.com/Rasierer/Tech/1948 AustraliaTech Set No77 England.JPG

This Brown # 77 case is for a Tech Type razor or

Alex, there is a brown case for the English NEW #77 too, which is the same as the tech case. What I am asking is if there is anyway to tell if mine belonged to the Tech, or the English NEW.

Is your case green or brown...does it say made in England on case?

 

[Ace McCool]

Case is brown - Where these cases say "Made in England" mine is blank and says nothing.

 

[alex2363]

Mostly all these Bakelite cases were predominant England made, they were also interchangeable with other razor designs.
(a Common Bar Handle NEW razor is not one)

Thanks Alex. Always appreciated.
