I am hoping some vintage Gillette guys may be able to help me out. I have cased 1954 (Z1) and 1957 (C3) Super Speeds and I want to match up the correct blade dispenser for each. What would be the code or style which would have come with those razors at the time? Thanks for any help!
Vintage Gillette DE Blades from 1950's

Boxed Gillette Blue Blades would do the trick. They were produced throughout the 50s, and the blades were date coded with the same codes as the razors. So if you want to be really particular, Z1 and C3 Blue Blades (in the blue box with King Gillette on the front) would match exactly.
Note that the boxes changed subtly over the years, so it's a little tricky to make sure you are getting something right or close, rather than blades from, say, 1946. But you have to open the box and look at the blade to see the date code.

Does anyone know what type dispensers came with cased razors? I see 6 or 10 blade dispensers were sold.
