BTW, that ad is from the '60s almost for sure, the N.F. means Nouveau Franc which was introduced in 1960.
btw, the guy in the pic looks like he has had too much to drink.
A nice OT Pocket Edition, 1917.
Before and after pics.
Baking soda, aluminium foil, hot water (x3); soap, hot water, toothbrush; metal polish. Voilà!
Have a good day, gentlemen!
All in great condition except for the scratch on the top of the case. You guys have any info on date and name? First one in my collection with a stamped diamond logo on the cap but I assume it is very common. Looks recent. 60's?
Thanks! A wealth of knowledge you are.

Looks fantastic! Was the razor silver or nickel?

I'd say silver, Juan Manuel.Thanks! I'd say it's nickel.
Am I correct in saying there'd be no cleaning reaction with nickel? That's a nice pickup @Juan Manuel.I'd say silver, Juan Manuel.
They did plate some Old Types in nickel but that was in the '20s I believe.

Hey now you don't get to do the Bwaha unless someone asks "What is this?" Specific questionings are excluded and specifically protected from Bwahas as denoted in the forum rules. Geez doesn't anyone read the regs anymore? Sigh.
I have a 1917 that WAS nickel, I know for sure because I had [email protected] strip it for me. I sent another razor that I thought was nickel and it wouldn't strip because it was actually silver, and he was using nickel stripper. I thought most of the OLD type ball end razors from '17 to '19 were nickel.
