I can't really clarify anything but I'll mention that I have a small Burma Shave box with a "Congratulations Pop" caption that was addressed to my father acknowledging my birth (1952). In the box is a tube of Burma Shave held in a cardboard insert that says "We heard the stork delivered a boy, our whole darn factory jumped for joy--Burma Shave." Additionally, there are (2) Burma Shave double edge razor blades, and a "The Art of Shaving" pamphlet. Just mentioning it--haven't seen any others in pics and lists of Burma Shave memorabilia. GJM
