Here in an interesting repeater with a C handle. The button on the left side of the head drops the guard bar away from the blade. Also when the head is closed the guard moves away from the blade so that it's out of the way when injecting a new blade.
This repeater is similar in that the guard moves out of the way when injecting a new blade but doesn't drop away when open.
So I wrote the seller asking if they could provide any information as to where the lot came from. This was the conversation : Me: Hello, I have received the package today and everything is wonderful and nicely packed. There are some very odd items in the lot (possibly prototypes) that I was not expecting that I was wondering if you could could provide any information as to where the lot came from. Thank you for your time. Response : Hi Andrew Glad you got a few surprises. All of the shaving items we've been doing, and all of those that will be coming up, are from the museum collection of Lester Dequaine. The collection was donated to a philanthropic organization here, and we are liquidating it for them. Thank you for your purchase, and I hope we get a few more items that you like. Kathleen
Andrew @Linuxguile - Are any of these unmodified? Curious to know if Mr. Lester Dequaine was involved in R&D for EverSharp/Schick. Keep the photos and information coming!
This is what looks like an I2. The back of the handle is also attached to the Hydro-Magic lever allowing the head to be opened even more.
This is an article linked in the B&B post about the museum: http://www.ctmq.org/defunct-4-one-more-museum-gets-trimmed/
Thank you, Perry. I feel like I've got some forgotten relics of historical significance. I wonder if Schick has any sort of internal historical archive.
A short time ago, some guy was selling a big amount of razors, mostly Gillettes, that were in fantastic shape, most unused. He said they were from a museum that had to close down. Wondering if they came from that one, who knows.......
