These Canadians are enigmatic...
You said there's no numbers. No patent numbers, no serial numbers ... nada. Is that correct, Juan Manuel?
Nada de nada, Edgar.
From 1921 on the US OTs were sold without serial numbers, and it could have been the same in Canada... except this is not a ball end handle

In the US they also made Single Rings without serial numbers in the '20s, not only ball end Old Types. Everybody seems to agree that the same happened in Montreal.
If your razor doesn't have a serial number, nor the PAT Mar7 05 on the handle, it was made in the '20s methinks.

Thanks, Edgar! I didn't know they made SRs in the 1920s as well... Now I do!
Yup ... same thick head as the ball end
Shame on me! I must have seen that pic thousands of times... but I only recalled the caps!!!
Now I think, my Canadian enigma is a THIN cap... which is even more strange...

Well, when it arrives of course ... 
Yes, I know..
Sorry, not my intention to discuss it now...Ha! I will post more pics. Errr... tomorrow... I am at home and the razor is at my office... obviously... SWMBO deserves a bit of peace...
I don't think so.
Toby, I compared this one to my US SRs 1906 and 1907 and they all look the same!. Tomorrow I'll try to post pics
Now you need a ball end LC NEW to go with the Federal case.
Congrats, that's a very nice Deluxe!

Ooo... A new hunt!Now you need a ball end LC NEW to go with the Federal case.

Wrong case or not when I saw It I wanted it... Love the Deluxes and being a Criterion is icing on the cake!
Won this lot in an auction. No real info given but I can see 3 Superspeeds, 1 Fatboy, 1 Slim Adjustable, 1 Senator(?), and some single edge razors. Filthy as all get out but I'm hoping they clean up!
And lo it has arrived! I think I'm going to love this one! Great heft and balance!
The wrong case...
It does have the required "Gillette crack" but I'm ok with that...
... Because it has perfect toofsand what I assume is a low-ish serial #
Very nice De Luxe! Congrats!
Super efficient shavers!
From the wiki, referring to 1930
"In this year only De Luxe models were numbered, starting with 1-D, and often the final D was omitted."
