It does feel similar to my other Aluminium handled Tech I have to say, I think you are correct.Yeah, 1950s Tech, there ... looks like the lightweight aluminium baseplate and handle?
These gents sets were quite commonplace back then. Nice catch!

The long tube is as far as I know for talcum powder and the smaller tubes are for soap sticks and travel brush.Hi everyone,
I just received this nice little travel set and everything seems to have never been used, there's not a single hair in the bristles on the brush.
I have had a go at dating the Razor and I believe it to be from 1951 to 1956 but can't be too sure.
If anyone can confirm this or date it for me that would be awesome. View attachment 64371View attachment 64372View attachment 64373View attachment 64374
Ps
Anyone Know what the Long chrome Tube is in the picture below the razor handle?
It has shaker holes in one end and a single small hole in the other so it's not a powder container.
I don't think so, there were many aluminum handles for sure, and I see the aluminum baseplate ones fairly regularly.Correct me if wrong, but aluminum ones of that period are rare if I recall.

Athletes foot powder is a perfectly manly use for the long tube!Just make sure it's MAN TALC you put in there ...
Jade East (circa 1970s)
Definitely not baby talc or (shudder) woman talc!
"Man Talc" ... possibly the earliest sighting of placing the word "man" in front of something essentially un-manly, quite commonplace today: man bag, man bun, man-cealer. Funny that in the 1970s, the least manly thing a fellow might consider using was talc
