    Great haul. I had seen one of these before but passed on it because i didnt know if a gem blade would fit. Is it like modifying them for the valet?

    Yes, actually took one out of a model A Auto Strop and clip the top corners a little more although it may have worked without the extra snips.

    Excellent score, Dave!
    The 7OC reminds me of an AutoStrop razor, without the stropping feature.

    Haha I saw that couldn't figure out why I needed it. I guess put it in an expensive frame in the living room as art?

    you know those very pretty printed gillette cases that have the stamped gillette on the outside And those felt liners on the inside of those gillette cases that have the stamped logo?? you would use that to make those with.. lay your foil sheet on the fabric and that would press the foil indention into the case or material !!
    Someone (YOU) would be able to redo the liners and cases to look Brand New with the proper plates!!!

    Other than it's a rough looking user grade that needs cleaning I don't know how to date them and the differences Gary. What can you tell me about it.
