Gorgeous, die-cut cardboard tabletop advertising display promoting Gillette "Blue Blades" brand of razor blades and advertising Gillette-sponsored boxing broadcasts. Clean and colorful, the piece is unused, but exhibits signs of wear simply due to its delicate nature - some minor dings at some of the corners, chipping at the edges (most notably along the bottom base), and a small tear at the upper-right, where the orange circle meets the green border.  The Gillette razor blade box is an innovative "3D" design, a second piece of cardboard overlaid on the sign to give the impression of the box being open to reveal the razor blades inside.  The easel back on the reversed is unused and as new.
