    I'm just putting this up because I couldn't find any information on these blades at @mr-razor's site. I got them from @Jrdelgado with the ABC set he sent me. I figured someone else might have similar blades and this could help them out. On all of these pics, the blades are in the same order. The first two have #57 on them, even though the backs of the wrappers are different. The second two have numbers 111 and 109. I sent him a PM, and this was his answer....... "From 1908-1910 there was only a steel lot number on the blade, that's maybe your #57. #111 and #109 looks like week 11 and 9 from 1911."

    I have a few of those old Gillette blades that were in a blade case I bought at a yard sale, I don't want to just toss them, I like the idea that the guy who used them was probably excited about or upset about Theodore Roosevelt was in office or amazed at what those crazy Wright brothers were doing. But I really don't have any idea what to do with them
