    At times when searching for Gillette razors in cases, you will see variations in the metal blade dispensers. Sometimes this is due to what ever the seller puts in there, or by Gillette depending on their stock. As I haven't found any way of dating their dispensers, has anyone found a way for dating them so it'll be possible for someone to complete a case.

    Perhaps they were made for the TV Special razor.

    I too try to obtain the correct blade dispensers for all my cased sets. I do comparisons using the Mr Razor blade and razor sites (photos), I also look and compare old Gillette Ads, also date a blade from inside of the dispenser and finally look for past sales from Ebay etc. This has worked pretty well for me in the past and I usually feel pretty confident that I have the correct or near correct dispenser.

    Figured they had to be for the TV issue, since it's also from the '50s. Just never saw a pic of one before. Thanks for that!
