So... How did I do, and what year do you think this 1912 GEM is from? The seller took some pretty good pics for ebay...

Nice. I've spent more on uncased ones, so good job. I'm not so sure about the year, sorry.

great shavers, great price.

word of warning: the mantra "no pressure" is to be taken literally with SEs.

Darn good price IMO!

Just occurred to me after looking at those pics that most of these I've seen are made in USA but the one I have is Made in england, was GEM an English or US company?

From memory they are US. They were made in the UK, though. They were also made with the Ever-Ready label.

+1 lest they quickly become planers and not shavers.

You done good, that's a very nice set at an equally nice price. Get some good blades and soon your DE's will be gathering dust.

Waits shows that particular set from around 1924 still with the Patented 1912 stamp on it.

She's a beauty alright, and you got it for a fair price. I just used mine this morning with a fresh Treet SE blade - a blade I've been dying to try for quite some time now. What a wonderful combination! :thumbup:

Out of my GEMs, my 1912 is my favorite - enjoy your win!

Awesome, thanks guys... I have GEM PTFE coated blades from the last group buy and will be using those with it.

cool... I was willing to pay over $20 for it to make sure I got it, I am just glad that nobody else bid up the price.
