    90% of them will actually say it on the head. the damaskeene were the earliest of the 1912s, advertising their new blades.


    the 1914 ER is the one MT has pictured. it mostly came in a black leather, red lined case. this handle was used prior to this year for some 1910 gem juniors.

    Oops. Dave's right, of course. GEM and Ever Ready, I get them confused sometimes.

    gem also had military sets, although theyre IMO the least cool out of them.

    I have an ER set with a separate stropper and strop. I cames in a white bakelite hinged box with two bakelite blade holders that attach to the box by a hinge.

    OK, since we're all throwing pics around and everything....I'm gonna rob the pics from one of my threads....I believe it's a 1914 ER...is that correct? Any idea specifically what era, based on the case and handle?

    I don't usually care too much about cases. But Chris, that is a case that I would love to have!

    droooool.


    the head is a 1914, but it shouldnt be in there. thats actually a 1924 travel set. the head that pops open from the back should be in there instead.

    Chris, is that the case with the "fold up" blade holders?

    Yes, they do swing up.

    I thought that design looked familiar. I think I saw a Star somewhere online with that style of case, but I seem to remember it was cream colored.

    The ones that I have the cases are removable..do not swing up.. that is a beautiful set.

    That's a cool case Truckman! GEM had some neat metal cases. Here's a small travel case and 1912 GEM.
