Apollo Slant in it's unusual case

Here's a beautiful Apollo -- slanted design and well-maintained, or never used during the past 70-80 years. Certainly the case and head look pristine -- may have never seen or felt a blade or lather -- at least not yet. I haven't seen many in this red case. If you have one, please post it here so we can compare the classy cases that these hefty razors were delivered and displayed in.

It's always great to find one of these beauties that still has its plating intact.

And it's a 2-piece also. Around the same time as when Gillette released it's #77/#88 2-piece New razor.

Chrome plated over the famous (or infamous) Zamak pot metal. Nevertheless, when they're in good shape, they are in excellent shape! I'll report on how it shaves later this summer.
 
Very nice razor Jake. Did not know Apollo made the 2 piece variety like the 77/88. Usually have only seen them in the version where the cap ties into a removal knob assembly. Beautiful case as well.
