The HandleBar's new countertop razor display case

[KodiakAttack]

Just thought I'd share our new countertop razor display case.
Let's hear it folks, any ideas on how old it is?^^^^

EDIT:

Heres another one I picked up a few weeks ago. I know this one is newer, my guess is 60's-70's. Its entirely metallic, thats a faux wood front. Were these used in department stores?

Wow, 28-29 ! Where can you go to research accessories and things like that??

Added a photo of another display case. Any guesses to the age of that?

Keep your eye on the bay. Sometimes you get lucky.

Very nice! It would only look better if it had some vintage Gillette razors.

Indeed it would, but we don't sell vintage razors unfortunately.

Here is a display case I made from an old wooden case I received with one of my materials in 1984.
Have cut the foam inlay by hand. The curved cuts were achieved using a DE blade held in an arch by hand and punched through the foam. Had a couple of small nicks on my fingertips to show for it.
