Vintage Gillette Safety Razor Blade Box – Gillette Safety Razor Co. of Canada

A fantastic early piece of Canadian shaving and advertising history. This original Gillette Safety Razor Co. of Canada Limited cardboard box features an ornate green printed label with a portrait of King C. Gillette, founder of the Gillette company.

The label states that the package originally contained flexible double-edge razor blades made by the Gillette Safety Razor Company and includes the classic early Gillette branding. The underside is stamped “Made in Canada.”

A great display piece for collectors of vintage advertising, barber shop memorabilia, shaving collectibles or early Canadian packaging.
