    Question can you help me identify and date my new score.

    I recently went on vacation and scored some nice razors at an antique store in Duluth, MN. I need help dating both razors and and identifying the one piece. Thank you.

    Gillette Tech
    This one is silver and uses a bar to hold the blade. There are no date codes or serial numbers on it and it was made in the US.

    The first one is a ball-end Tech, 1946-1950. And the second is a Sheraton, 1937-1939 (and maybe early 1940). The Tech is quite common, but the Sheraton is less so -- and a great shaver, to boot!

    The one piece is a Shetaton. Made in 1934 I believe. Isn't there a letter under the head?

    Nice finds. As has been stated: Gillette Tech and Sheraton.
    Here is a helpful site for futur references:

    They didn't put the letter and number under the head on these early models. Looks like a '37 Sheraton with the rivets on either side of the head.
