What Gillette Razor goes with this SHIPPER?

[Antique Hoosier]

This is going to be offered at public auction in the Tampa area Saturday pm...any idea what razor is inside??? Auctioneer only pictured the shipper... Auction listing states razor inside METAL case....

Some type of Old Type. I have one very similar to yours.

Im not a likely bidder as I have a Gillette Fat Boy already... If others in the area are interested, google rizzo auctioneers Largo Florida... I missed their sale last week that had a number of vintage straight razors and strops..( i have plenty of those too!)

I was going to say gold old type ball end.

thanks for the tip

I believe you'll find that it is going to be one of the Pocket Editions.

Looks like my Khaki shipper :

 

[gilett]

it should show on the side of the box. what does it say?

I'd say either a Pocket Edition or maybe a U.S. Service Set.

The real question is, is it the CORRECT razor inside.

Let's hope so.

I've seen so many mismatched cases over the years, I can't see shippers being any different if the seller is clueless. Unless the shipper has something like the one Achim shows for the Khaki set, you never really know.

Cheers.

thanks, I´m very happy to win this beautiful set

Achim is the Gillette Collector ebayer?

With that kind of fire power no one else stood a chance. I am happy the set has found its rightful place. Congrats again and sorry for letting the cat out of the bag. My apologies.

I'd be interested in hearing from B&B members in the Tampa Bay area who attended the Rizzo Auction if any, and if anyone of our members actually snagged this item. I ALMOST went to the sale but decided not to at the last minute.

 

[Antique Hoosier]

So NONE of our Tampa area guys attended the auction and tried to snag this mystery razor in original shipper????...Knowing how Carmen and Clara Rizzo's auctions go ( no offense to them I truly like them very much)...this one went for peanuts without a B&Ber or two there to fight it out....let us know here at B&B if you snagged it...
