    I recently bought this via eBay from a seller in Argentina. As of my acquisition of this set, no one I've talked to has ever seen this kind of Gillette case and therefore the official name for this set is unknown so I've dubbed it "1920s 4-piece Leather Traveler". The razor itself is the same as the 1920s Gillette Vest Pocket, commonly called the "Vienna" because the worldwide sole distributor for the model was based in Vienna, Austria. The "Vienna" however came in a small metal tin box. However just like this "Leather Traveler", the "Vienna" too was made in the USA. So, same razor, different case/box.

    Anyone ever seen this or have one? (the ball-end old type in the pics are for size comparison)
