    Description

    This is a vintage 1940's-50's travel shaving kit in leather case.
    A Lockheed Constellation airplane is pictured on the leather.
    I read online that Lockheed gave these out to pilots, possibly passengers as a promotional item, but I don't if that is true.
    Inside there are 3 gold metal tubes, one has a shaving brush inside that comes out when you turn the bottom like a tube of lipstick, the second has what is left of soap and comes up the same way.
    When you remove the tube top from the 3rd one there is an empty bottle that originally had aftershave.
    There is an unused still wrapped Gillette Blue Blade razor blade inside, trade mark King C. Gillette.
    The gold tone razor is in three parts which screw together.
    Kit measures 3 by 3 3/4 inches and 1 inch thick.
    The gold tubes have patina and the leather straps that hold the items in place, have come loose from the bottom, but are still there.
    The leather has normal wear from an item of it's age.
    Otherwise, the shaving kit is in very good condition, zipper works.
