Sheffield Double Edge Razor Blades (Box of)

The item is a collection of "Sheffield Double Edge Blades" housed within what appears to be an original retail display box or carton designed to hold multiple blade packs. The individual blade packs are small, rectangular, and predominantly white with significant blue accents. Each pack features the brand name "Sheffield" written prominently in a stylized script font, alongside "MFG. CORP." and "DOUBLE EDGE BLADES" in a smaller, sans-serif typeface. A circular logo containing an 'S' is also visible on each pack. The display box itself is made of cardboard, with a predominantly blue exterior and a natural brown interior. It has cut-out sections on the front, consistent with an open-top display intended for easy access or viewing of the product by customers. The blue color on the box is somewhat faded and shows signs of wear, particularly around the edges and corners where the cardboard is creased or slightly torn, revealing the brown material underneath. The individual blade packs appear to be in generally good condition, though some might have minor discolorations or dust from storage. This item likely dates from the mid-20th century, given the design aesthetic and packaging style common for razor blades of that era. The overall craftsmanship points to mass production, typical for consumer goods, but the branding and consistent design suggest a standard level of quality for the period.
