What's new

Is this a pocket 501 set

Seems I just can't get a positive id on this one. All silver in color, also the case is silver but has no engraving on it.(smooth top and bottom).
# m 769119 so it's a 1920 model? Thanks for any help. Sorry for a bad photo.

The case gives the name of the set. If your case is plain, it´s a 1920 #500 set. Here is a 1914 catalog with a ABC handle:

Do you have better picture?
 
Like Achim says above, if it's in a smooth case it's a No. 500 set not a 501. It's somewhat strange for it to be a US-made set from that late without the "MADE IN U.S.A." above the diamond logo on the patch on the headliner, but the case does look like the later style ones that Gillette switched to after moving away from the ABC sets.
