    Description

    "NEW" is the name Gillette gave to this period of their razors.  There's no date code.  It's a 2 piece razor by design with the knob staying in the barrel when loose.  I believe the whole razor to be silver plated.  I think the plating is thin on these from the factory reflecting the lean times of the early 30's.  You can see brass on the inside bottom hat and top of the base plate.  One of the outside teeth may be getting light and small spots here and there.  The top of the head looks good but maybe there are some subtle dark spots on top that may be nothing but I don't want to mess with. Some patina.  No scratches that stand out. No cracks, no bent teeth.
    The Bakelite case works fine... hinges/lock down.  I don't see any scratches, chips, cracks on it.  Same with the blade cases.  It has one blade, made in England, that I don't think is used but may be rusted a bit.  The shipper worn and torn but still hanging around.
    Thanks for looking and I may have other vintage razors for sale.
