Gillette Pocket Edition Razor Box Canada
$5 Green Currency Style King C Gillette Empty Box
Original Canadian-market Gillette Pocket Edition razor box only (empty box), featuring the early currency-style green printing with the $5 denomination, King C. Gillette portrait, and GK monogram.
This is the Canadian version with the long licensing notice panel referencing Canadian Letters Patent No. 97943. The box shows honest age and wear but remains a solid survivor from the early Gillette production era.
A great piece for collectors who focus on Gillette packaging variants, early advertising designs, and international-market shaving sets.
Collector NotesCanadian-market Pocket Edition packaging is less commonly encountered than the U.S. version, especially examples retaining the full licensing notice panel. The early currency-style $5 boxes are among the most recognizable Gillette packaging designs and are highly sought after by collectors of vintage shaving history.
