    Plastic was the latest and greatest thing showcased in the 1939 World's Fair. It only makes sense that Gillette would promote their product through the use of this latest product. It was not looked as being cheap, but as being light durable and "modern".

    They also made some that had a black top plate and a black plastic handle, iirc the base plate one those was also stamped steel, but it was uncoated. The reason for that afaik, was so the razor wouldn't reflect any light so as to give away the position of our troops, and brass was needed for the war effort so they used the least amount possible. Gillette even made "Camofluage" blades, but iirc they were just flat black, so the same principal as the black topped tech. The top may well have been aluminum on the "Camo" version. Achim has that listed as well. Good ol American ingenuity. Nothing fancy, but it worked.

    The head should go nicely with a Pocket Set case that I have and one can never have too many Fat Handles. :)

    It is most likely an old type clone but that is about all I can ascertain by looking at it. That handle is a full length handle when assembled. I bought it with a lot of razors that I probably shouldn't have bought but the price was there to roll the dice on it.

    The handle is the coolest part of it. The head seems like whatever. I like the knurling a lot

    Not a bad price for 25 blades and what appears to be a nice looking blue tip.
