    Description

    This set was made in the USA for the European Market.  There is no date code.
    The razor functions fine.  There may be be some really fine micro scratches on top of the head but nothing that stands out.  There is a chip of plating that came off on handle just above the knob (pic) but other than that the plating is excellent everywhere else.  Very lightly used if that. This single ring is slightly shorter but thicker through out than the earlier versions and weighs slightly more.  I thought the Roaring 20s had some good plating with some shine.
    The case smells of old perfume.  I've tried to air it out various times and have managed to knock it down a bit but it still lingers but not as bad as it was when I got it.  There were no springs to these cases. It snaps and locks shut fine.  It has a dent on top lid right side from razor handle not positioned and someone forced it.  I tried to get that in a pic.  Inside plush but the bottom shifts around causing the razor to not be lined.  I think I put cardboard shims under but it may shift and you may have to mess with it.  The back drop has a tear bottom left.  I tried different metal cases in it but all too big so I put a NOS, French pack in there.
    Thanks for looking and I may have some other razors for sale.
