For auction is this nice collectable Gillette double edge razor with two original boxes. This is the Gillette "Milord." The boxes show their age a little more than the razor. The razor is bright and shinny with some slight variations in color. The razor mechanism works perfectly.Included is the original box for the razor and some blades that you'd throw into your Dopp kit. Then there is the original presentation box. This box held the smaller box, some blades, and a tube of shaving cream. Included are a few blades, but I doubt they are original to the package; the tube of shaving cream is long gone and is not included.
On the back of the box is a listing of patents for the razor, and I checked them out: they come from the early 1930s up to 1935. The latest patent I could identify, #2,009,272, was filed in 1934 and issued in 1935.
That's the extent of my knowledge on the patents. I cannot say this was made in the 1930s or if it was made later using an earlier patent. Those who collect these things hopefully have enough information to continue the research.
Bottom line: this is a neat old razor with good eye appeal and in good shape.
