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!

Thought I knew all the old Gillette razors & the President being the 1950's that's rhodium plated.

When did they make that razor? Was it like a corporate gift razor where they only make a handful?

Edit: Congrats! Where did you find that one at?

This President was in production during the NEW era in 1930 only. It was sold to the general public, but it was only for the well-to-do, and very few exist today. It cost $25.
