Hi all. I popped into a little antique shop I'd never been into a couple days ago. Three feet from the door was a little glasses case with two Gillette TTOs. I asked the owner if they had any more shaving stuff and was rewarded with a decent Wade and Butcher straight in the original box. He made me a deal on all three and away I went. Here's what I picked up:
From what I can tell they appear to be a Slim Adjustable with a date code of M-1 do it should be 1st quarter of 1967. It's very clean and seems to have had very little use. The adjuster is very crisp and has no slop.
The second, I BELIEVE, is a '40s style super speed. I haven't found a date code, although I'm not sure exactly where it should be. It's a little grungy but I think it'll clean up pretty well.
Am I right about these IDs?
Thanks in advance,
Zach
