These are two solid razors that will make excellent shavers. They are not collectors pieces because they, like most gold-tone Gillettes from the 1930's, have lost much of their plating and lacquer coating and have other obvious signs of wear for being 70-80 years young. None the less, they are mechanically sound with nothing bent, broken or cracked. They were built to last. They would look pretty good if all the plate and lacquer were removed and they were then polished up a bit.
If you want to try shaving with a NEW here is your chance. If it turns out a NEW is just your style you could hunt down one in pristine condition and have a real beauty as your every day shaver. If not you haven't invested much.
I put a nice wildflower in one picture to pretty them up and give them a little dignity. The "dust" you see on the razor handles is pollen from the flower. I didn't realize it got all over everything until I uploaded the pictures.
$15 for either, shipped CONUS. PayPal. I can only accept direct payment, not credit card-backed PayPal, as I only have a personal account.
BOTH SOLD!
