Ya know Ironhammer I think yours is an original case. I think both cases are originals. I have been looking at old ebay ads With Gillette Advertisements from 1908 and it says the "Standard" set cam with the razor and 12 blades in a velvet lined full leather case for $5.00. They then also have a tag line about "Combination" sets starting at $6.50-$50.00. I'm guessing the one Intriuged has in the nickel box is the low end combination set.
I did find mention of Gillette releasing the "New Process" blades in 1908 so maybe it has something to do with that.
I'll keep sifting through old ads and see if I can find mention of anything to do with the signature.
