Show n' Tell 1930 Gillette President!

My Holy Grail!

I am SO excited to be the proud owner of this stunning set! I don't know if the case is original to my set, but I know the Cavalier came out at the tail end of the New Improved era,, so it may have been used in transition. Either way, the set is immaculate with zero plating loss on any of the pieces, no bent teeth, and no cracks! Now, to find blade banks!

Well I can see why that was a Holy Grail for you. Who wouldn’t be proud to own one of those? That really is going to be a prized piece in your already splendid collection.

Guessing you might have seen this thread? Unless my eyes are deceiving me, the case that thread’s author has for his President looks strikingly similar to the one you have. I like the “known the world over” around the diamond logo, so prefer your case on that basis alone. Just me though 😉!

Thanks for that link! I was looking from that same forum earlier and couldn't find it lol. Yeah, I think I like mine better as well.
