Trouble Identifying Gillette Bakelite Set

Clearly · Jul 25, 2013

I recently picked up this bakelite set at a local antique shop thanks to my wife's keen eyes. :thumbup1:

I was having some trouble finding the set on Mr. Razor. Anyone else out there have one of these or know more about them? Thanks!!View attachment 353719

The set is shown here as being part of a WWII Hygiene Kit. Great find.....congrats.

MacDaddy does a masterful job in this post decoding some of the data printed on your shipper.

Well that is more information in one post than I thought would be obtained in the whole thread! Thanks Copierguy!

So that's the one designated to Jersey City Quarter Masters Depot, is it the Simplex model, can you open it and see?

I don't see any simplex markings. Just marked Gillette on the outside of the box and then this is what the interior looks like. I am more than happy to take pictures at different angles if that is helpful.
