    I had it close. I always said mid 50s, based on time frame of grandparents. I know realize that it is older than I thought.
    It does have the oval slots on the base plate, and I know that helps with dating it.
    I will post more photos this evening in hopes I can narrow it down further.
    Thanks for the help.

    Thanks Gary. I like your rotating shaving setup with the vehicle back round. It's one of the more original shave display concepts on the forum.

    For my Christmas Eve morning shave I pulled out my very favourite Super Speed, a 1949 NDC model. This one is a solid 54g and I really like how elegantly simple it is. I like the simple but solid and functional red case too.
