Is there a site I can get information on Blade banks like you can get for razors on Mr Razor? I have a blade bank I need a date for and it would be good to have somewhere to look for that info if I come across more. Here is the one I have. Anyone know a date range?

After further research best I can tell is this belongs to a set somewhere between 1918 and 1920 from the trademark stamp on top with squared off style. After 1920 they look to be more rounded and before 1918 they have the detent tab on the long side where the top meets the bottom. Just thought I would post what I am seeing in case anyone else was curious!
Hi Larry, there was a member over at the B&B who had extensive knowledge on the chronology of Gillette blade safes, he has passed away now, but has created a thread or two over there about these blade safes. I think he was called Dragonslayer, or Dragon Master. I'm not sure about his name, but the thread should still exist. I'll check it out and get back to you.

Not that I'd condone "stealing" info, but having a "back up copy" here on TSD would keep the departed B&B members legacy alive. Should anyone search later this thread ought to help them,too.
Some of those style blade banks had a smooth bottom and others a textured bottom so they could be repurposed as a matchbox and be used to strike matches. But I'm not sure which set belonged to which.
Yes. That's part of why I transferred my useful posts from there to here. I could have just pointed to them on B&B, but here they are more accessible.
