This NEW LC was in Mint condition. I do not think it was ever used. I won it in a PIF from the wonderful member @Mountainsea. The zippered travel case is monogramed Walter Rosenberg, hence the name Walter. The cardboard insert was still between the top cap and the blade tray and came with two blades dated 1934.

The Gillette Goodwill LC came in a basketweave case, definitely a mismatch, but very interesting anyway.

While this ad came the following year (The Saturday Evening Post, of June 20, 1931), I like their feelings of grandeur.
"In Tulsa or Tokio", "The outspoken preference of more than a hundred million men...." "The vast majority demands Gillette".
