Hi all,
Just picked up this from an auction site-
Was listed as a razor blade holder so I think I got it fairly cheap. Cleaned up nice
So I think this is a New long comb with US style head. It has Patent 133963 and Other patents pending on the handle.
BUT - With all the tarnish I'm assuming this is just brass but read somewhere that Gillette always plated all their razors.
It took a fair bit of cleaning to get it looking respectable and there is (and was) no sign of it ever having been plated. So I was just wondering if any of the English ones were made without plating?
