Help Needed to Identify a Schick Razor

As the title says. The razor is marked 'Made in Canada' as are the instructions. The maroon and clear case is marked 'Made in USA'.
The closest I can get on Waite is a 1950-56 description but, sadly, no photo. Any help appreciated.

 

This might help

Or just wait for Billy to weigh in.

 

Thanks for the pointer. Can't be sure of the identification, I think the Canadian production is clouding the issue.

 

Can't see what it says above the "Made In Canada", but if it says "Patent 1937", should be a type E. I have a similar one with a slightly different handle. (E3?)

 

It does indeed say Patent 1937. Where, do you think, does that put the date?

 

1940s at latest, my guess. It's one of the E series. If the spring won't slide over to let it drop open, it's an E3 or later.

It is a handsome razor. I would love to have it in my collection.

 

The Eversharp on the spring indicates post 1946 production. The parallel lines on the guard suggest an E3 (?)

I think the spring moves over. I haven't actually tried it but there is a definite 'track' visible.

 

Track is not indicative as people often force the spring open. My E2 opens easily and has no visible track.

The E3 spring has a pin which keeps it from sliding without force. No pin on the E2.

It doesnt seem to have the tabs on the sides of the spring which would indicate it a G series ? Im not the expert Billy is though

 

I thought there was no G manufacture in Canada but I often make stuff up, or even remember wrong. Poor Billy has posted this a million times we should keep his E/G info as a sticky. Or under a fridge magnet.

Didn't the Canadian Schicks use the solid maroon case?



Or solid cases, regardless of color, but not the clear top kind.

 

I seem to remember the "No Canadian G" story but dont recall ever reading about an E without those side tabs though. Thats what is confusing me.

 

Oops, just read that the tabs were removed on the E4...... Im now willing to guess its a Canadian E4 (if there was such a thing) with a date code as late as the 50's.

 

I thought the E3 had tabs on the side of the spring, but the spring doesn't open like the E2. Google "Schick Injector Razors" and you'll find a link where you can identify.

Thanks for all the interest folks. Intriguing problem isn't it? I've looked at info on line but can't make a definite identification. Waiting for Billy!

 

Billy here. E4.

Yes, and here's a pic of a Canadian E4 with a seamed handle just to make it even more confusing.
