Beautiful 1911 ABC Pocket Edition Gillette Old Type Silver Tone DE Safety Razor
Note: The Serial # is B82984. This is a gunmetal finish case, while the silver tone handle has the flower design.
The razor seems to be in nice condition, considering its age.
The head shows some plating loss and wear, but maintains much luster as well.
The handle shows some plating loss and wear, but remains attractive.
The case is in reasonably nice condition, considering its age.
The exterior of the case shows plating loss, wear, and some areas of discoloration.
The interior cloth or felt is in reasonably nice condition, based on its age.
The blade container also seems to remain in good condition. Additional information concerning ABC Pocket Edition Gillette Razors
At some point in 1908 Gillette contracted with the American Button Company of Newark, New Jersey
to produce a new style of razor. The new razors would consist
of new and unusual designs where the razor handle was shaped
somewhat like a Grecian column. What evolved were six different
case and handle designs. The handles were solid and beautifully
sculpted and the cases were smaller and ornate.
There were five handle designs:
1) Shell with one ring (two variants exist. For more details, see below)
2) Shell with two rings
3) Scroll
4) Flower
5) Empire
Each of the five different designs came in either silver or gold.
The cases came in six different patterns:
1) Empire
2) Flower
3) Shell
4) Basket Weave
5) Plain
6) Leather
As with the razors, the metal cases came in either silver or gold.
But unlike the razors, some cases have a Gunmetal finish and
there is even a rarely seen leather case.
Please use the pictures to properly identify and evaluate.
Feel free to ask questions before bidding.
If you are considering multiple purchases, I offer a combined shipping discount of $1.69 for each razor I don't have to mail individually.
No Returns.
