Vintage Gillette ID Help, Not For Razor But For Metal Case

[timwcic]

I scored this a few weeks ago and finally got around to researching. It is like Russian stacking dolls. The outer metal case is stamped GILLETTE on the bottom. That enough was good enough to take home. Opening showed a Tuckaway with its cloth cover inside. Once that was removed, inside was a box in box that when removed was a Tuckaway Silver shipper. Extra bonus, extra cool!! The cherry on top was on the bottom were the user directions in very good shape.

So back to my ID help, what’s up with the metal box? Never seen all this together before. Everything is a perfect fit. Did the metal box come with some Tuckaways? Any info on the metal box?

Hello, it’s a gutted case for the 461B set, seemingly made in Boston, for the British company.
Interesting that this shipper also lists only 1 blade instead of 12 or 10.

Thanks for the speedy answer to the mystery. Two for the price of one. It is a big coincidence the the same seller had the Gillette Turnaround brush that would have been it that case. I purchased the brush, but was a few weeks later. He also had several single rings, but I did not look at them
