    My latest... arrived to me Saturday. New Old Stock, head pieces and handle still wrapped in cellophane, original blades, shipper box, price card, tissue wrapping paper and rarely seen lithographed tin case.

    1940 (K-1 date code on both blades) Gillette Service Set No. 11H

    I wish I knew how Jody keeps breaking into Gillette's Archives without being caught...

    Wow! They must be out there but this is the 1st time I've seen the set!! My father was there in England for a lot of the war and may have used one like it. Thanks for sharing.

    Jody I'm seriously tempted to just send you money and have me find a Gillette service set LOL. I can never get good ones!

    Great set Jody. Back up the future or back to the past. They really don't make them like they used to. Congratulations!
