About this Item
Tin box shaped like a miniature book intended for discarded razor blades, with a capacity of ten. N.d., circa 1920, perhaps a bit earlier. The box measures not quite 5 by 5 cm, and is 2.5 cm thick, with a long slot on top to slip down the spent blades. Writing on the bottom indicates for Gem Blades and instructs that the box should be discarded when filled. Mercifully for us, this tin was not filled nor obviously, discarded. The sides have fine lines to simulate the look of pages, and the red spine has four lines meant to suggest spine bands. Some rust and wear, with the typical loss of surface paint that characterizes most antique tin. Still a highly unusual survival -- we have never seen a faux book for razor blades before.

The shipping cost provided automatically by ABE assumes that the item is the size of an average hardcover book. Since our stock is comprised largely of material which is bigger and heavier, we will often need to request additional shipping charges as a result. We pride ourselves on always packing safely, with the actual materials and method of packing depending on the item(s), where it is going, and with whom we are shipping. We most frequently use the post office, but on some high value items, or upon request, we may use alternatively UPS or FedEx. With the postal service, to domestic destinations with lower value items and the automatically furnished ABE shipping quote, we will usually use Media Mail; on higher value items we are partial to Priority or Express Mail. We will always seek to comply with a customer's wishes if they are communicated to us. When we seek additional shipping charges, we pass along those charges at our cost -- we do not add for handling or materials generally.
