I purchased a Gillette Aristocrat from England and it is a 1936 with a Pat No. of 400.621 on the back of the head and 430.030 on the handle. According to Mr. Razor, mine is a 1936 because it doesn't have the center bar wings like the 1938 Aristocrat #15. Other than that , they are identical: http://www.mr-razor.com/Rasierer/One-Piece open comb/open comb.htm
My question is that since the cases are identical and the razor is also (except for the center bar wings), could you call this a #15? I am guessing not, but does the 1936 razor have any ID# like the others (#15, #22, #19, etc).
