So I have been fortunate enough to get a hold of two double rings in my Gillette collection, both date back to 1905 based upon their serial numbers. But my burning question is what cases can I legitimately display them in? Also what blade cases were originally issued? I have a 1906 Single Ring case but I have seen pics that show Double Ring razors in the same box. I'm hoping that these are historically correct. I know Double Rings were phased out in mid 1906 and replaced by the close cousin with one less ring.
I know from AsylumGuido's post, Achim's reference site, and Ray's Razor of the Week series, the Chicago ribbon display cases were used in 1904 and 1905. These are shown below. Notice how the blade cases differ, too.
