I'm guessing it was partially plated when sold as I have seen at least one other like it online in the past. Once I have it in hand I'll be sure to let you know what number is stamped on it.
Thanks Gary! Like so many other people it's been a real rough patch lately so this was a little ray of sunshine.
I have a number of items I’m waiting on; however there’s 3 items I’m very excited to get my hands on. First from @John Beeman is a Skin Bracer left hand decanter; which will match my right hand decanter of Skin Bracer. Second is in 2 parts. Part 1 is Acqua Di Parma Colonia Aftershave Lotion I bought for about $40 on eBay. Second part, again from eBay is a jar of Acqua Di Parma shaving cream I bought for $32.50 in new condition. Both AdP products came with free shipping and are sold from top rated sellers. The aftershave should arrive in a day or so; the shave cream will take a couple weeks since it’s being shipped from the U.K. I picked up the ADP cream and splash as a birthday gift from me to me as my birthday is on December 2nd.
Well, I have been wheeling and dealing some brushes as of late. Sold four and listing 3 more...bought 5, making that a net reduction of two. These three are on the way to Primo.
If it is a production number it should be in the 160s or lower. I just found a second style guard with either 170 or 171 on the stem.
Ordered a 59 gillette red tip, should ship tomorrow, pretty fair price. Glad It's coming in, gives me a chance to tinker around cleaning up the razor and polishing it. for the shape it's in I'll admit, based off the pictures, it was very nice. I need to go pick up some more Barbacide this week, ran out of it last week cleaning up my blue tip.
