It has been a couple weeks and the antique store had a sign out front the other day, "new inventory", so I stopped in today. No date codes on either one. And the plating on the TTO is not so good. Edit: I just noticed while cleaning, that this is not the notch bar like all my others. Is this a pre'47 Aristocrat that everyone talks about?
Looks like a 51 but the blade bank looks wrong. If you want to make it a full set, look at the one at Mr Razor, its white/cream. But thats a beautiful piece you have there!
I don't think it's a 1951. There is no date code. Also 'PACKAGE' is stamped on the tray. My guess is 1950
Two big blades on their way…. (Left)A late-19th century George Wostenholm & Son 'IXL' straight razor with scalloped spine, hollow notch nose and nearly 1" wide blade. (Both original scales and blade appear intact. Should restore and polish up beautifully.... A Frederick Fenney Tally-Ho (1833-1852), smiling 7/8 wedge with hollow notch tip. Big hunk of steel. Small nick on the edge should come out easy enough. Horn scales look to be original and in decent shape.
Schick G 3 Type Injector.... And another shot... And lastly.... The postman delivered my Schick Type G 3 today.....I gave it a wee polish with toothpaste and it came up lovely.....Toothpaste is a great polish for Gold Plated Razors....Its a gentle cutting paste....Shame about the enamel on your teeth though....The Gold Plated Schick Type G3 was a 1947 Christmas Special Edition Model....I also have a Solid 14 Karat Gold Handled Schick Type G 2 that was a 1946 Christmas Special Edition Model......The Schick Type G 2 1946 Christmas Special Edition Model is by far the Classiest of the two....I wanted the Schick Type G 3 to complete my Schick G Type Collection.....Both of the Schick Types G2 & G3 Models are quite rare..... This one polished up really well and I am over the moon in completing my Schick G Type Collection.... Billy
From my Dad...he's approaching 80 and doesn't get around too well so he's giving up auction hounding. I think he's giving up on ebay, too. The black Caravelle watch, I bought for him back when I got out of the Navy in very early '90s. It's a cheapie but danged if the thing still ain't running like a top. He's worn it all these years but I suspect can't wear it anymore, or the Citizen dive-ish watch he also wore. The Ballograf pen/pencil set is interesting, never heard of that company before. Travel Tech has never been used. Already put one Super Speed in the travel box; these are what's left. The Super is a '75; I think I'll put it back for my girls.
You wouldn't happen to have a K4 in that lot of superspeeds would you? I have a '66, but I'd like one in my birth year/ quarter.
