Gillette Safety Razor Flower Case and ABC Handle dated to 1912, Monogrammed

Description

Nice Example of a 503 Flower Design Pocket Set with a 501 handle.  The first picture captures the condition most accurately.   There is a tinly bit of brass showing where the monogram cuts through the silver surface.  There is a spot of brassing on the underside of the case.  The serial number is C2390 and the other 2 numers are indistinct.  The blue velvet interior is in remarkable good shape, but lacking the Gillette emblem and the bottom of the case does not have the usual Gillette inscription.  The teeth are straight and not bent, pretty much perfect.
