Gillette Brasileira?

**vicali** · 10-24-2010, 11:05 PM

New find at the trading post this weekend; $5 special.
I just brought it home and am trying to ID it;

The thing that is getting me is the knurling gets smaller as you get to the top, this looks like the Aristocrat, There is no Letter mark legible (yet! Hasn't been cleaned!) but the number is a small 3 on the top right, It also reads; top left; MARKA REGISI? and Lower right; IND BRASILEIRA with the Gillette symbol lower left.

either;
1956 Aristocrat?

or
1973 mono Tech T3?;

case;

I feel the RAD, and it is good..

Case is Canadian made, I don't think it is the original case, I found them in an area of the Okanagan that has a high fruit picker workforce during the year, people come from all over to work the orchards in the summer.

A.Miotti has one in Sao Paulo

Huh. Where at specifically, if you don't mind my asking?

I was looking through antique stores in Summerland, Penticton, and OK Falls a while ago and didn't notice any shaving stuff, but it was a little before I got into DE shaving.

I love the knurling on the tto knob. There was on of those on eBay awhile back without the case and I was so tempted to bid.

So close, just a few minutes south,

If you find yourself in Oliver on a sturday morning looking for adventure try the Kiwanis market;
http://www.oliverkiwanis.org/

But bring your elboys and be there right at 9:00, the market is only open saturday morning and it gets busy. I had seen this one tucked away on my last visit but wasn't sure what it was. I decided if it was there the next time I wouldn't leave without it.
