Hallo everybody,
just found my score of the life i think.
Anybody now this Gillette Old Type. the serial number 820915 date it to 1906 and Krumholz said that there is only known prototypes cause they was build till 1908/1909 regulary? Furthermore there is stamped "Pat Nov 15'04". on the head and on the handle is stamped Sterling Silver. The hellmark is like a human head but not the one of Gorham.
Would be happy if anyone could identify it. I collect razors and saw a lot but never saw a gillette one where the under head is on the handle and WITH ornaments. the abc pocket types with ornaments have 2 pieces of the head.
hope you understand my english. it is very strange to describe it cause i am so happy with it. looks like if the razor was produced yesterday...
the case i think is a mismatch cause the case is not from 1906 or?
best regards
michael
