    I found this Gillette Old Type Big Fellow in an antique store. This one was made in Canada. This Old Type Big Fellow was introduced in 1919 and made for only a short time until 1921. Serial number 725295. Silver plated. It is quite heavy and it measures just shy of 4 inches. Truthfully, I didn't even know these existed until last week. A lucky find. A few pics...

    Good score. I have a big boy that's so rare I don't want to use it. Great shaver just like the big fella...

    But together they bump the value up to $150-200.
