I found better pictures, elsewhere, but couldn't find more information. The THIN were phased out, at the end of the 60's, and re-introduced ''somewhen'' in the late 70's. The font is definitively NOT from the 50's, the 'GILLETTE' use a font that was used between 1966 & until the mid 70's, and the 'NEW IMPROVED THIN BLADES' look like a font from the late 70's. I think those are from the late 70's but NOT us made (Maybe Australia ? That would be awesome).

Note: Maybe I'm dead wrong too lolll

They are okay, nothing special. I'd offer $30-$35 for them, no more.

Hey, if you buy 'em, let us know how they shave and what year they are from

Forget what I said about 'reintroduced at the end of the 70's' I have 2 Thin Blade R-1 1971 before my eyes and I also received a lot of Thin Blade V-1 1974 this morning. If they phased them out, it was only for 2 years top.

I shaved with a 1971, last year, and completely forgot about it. Shave was good.
