Thanks! Back of the Wagon Antiques in Laramie, WY and, believe it or not, this wasn't the find I was most excited about in that shop.
Found a (non-sparking) brass headed mallet for only $12! Now that got me excited
Help identifying this green & black case, please

My better weather hobby is riding my Harley - 35k miles last year, 30k the year before - so I've traveled those same roads many times, and I never get tired of 'em. Of course, retirement has some influence on the mood <grin>
I never get tired of such beautiful scenery, love it.
If i am not mistaken, I have a green case as well. Can't remember off the top of my head where its from.

Can I join? I had an all green case but sold it before I knew I liked NEWs. Ha. This was way back in 2014. Here is the proof:

I kind of regret it now as the razor was in super nice condition but the sell/buy ignited a serious razor acquisition run that has not stopped.

Brent, you're in - and now you're out (you sold it!!)!
Mine had a ratty old empty tuck of "Blades by Cooper" in the case that I threw away, and I see yours had the Gillette Thins. I wonder which tuck would complete the set?
Most likely Blue Blades, that's what Gillette was selling in the 30s.

The Thin blades were released in the 40s IIRC, and the others you mention are not even Gillette.
Here's a 1934 Red & Black ad (it's a Deluxe, but I'm fairly certain the blades were the same), showing Blue Blades.

congratulations to this very rare set!
Well, it was listed for that but that listing didn't sell. It was ended by the seller, whether for an offline sale or a change of heart, who knows? But he started it out at $395 even to much bemusement.

Thank you, Edgar - that's what I'd put in there as a place holder while awaiting confirmation! What I have, though, are NOS blues that were being sold from Thailand, so I guess that's kinda cheating...
I'm thinking, too, that this was probably a contemporary of the Red & Blacks, if for no other reason than the cases seem to be identical dimensionally.
And thanks for your interest and assistance with this one.
