    i believe that is a 1940s gold tech case but i could be wrong.nice looking set either way.check out this website for more detailed examples.

    that is a beautiful example of the New series long comb.i recently passed mine along as i use the british versions,which are nickel/silver plated.be careful with these gold versions as the finish can wear easily with too much polishing.they are gold plated over brass with a shellac type coating.

    Yes, the other one does have some loss of finish. This one looks new!
