1921 Big Fellow

[Boro62]

Stopped an antique mall today and found a couple of things in the wild. I found a couple parker fountain pens and also a scheaffer fountain pen along with this cased 1921 Big Fellow. (at least I think its a Big fellow)

Anyways here are some pics of the Big Fellow, if you want to check out the fountain pens, i posted them here: http://badgerandblade.com/vb/showthread.php/334953-Nib-Acquisitions-for-March-2013/page19

Here are the pic's of the big fellow, just a quick dip in some hot water and dish washing soap and some MAAS polish and all nice and shiney again.

So, it looks like these came with a zippo.. but is it? Does it hold blades? I guess I haven't read about this before..

Nice score!
I have always liked that razor and been on the lookout for 1.

Nice Score!! It is rare to see one in that condition and the case in such great shape.

What you see that look like Zippo lighters actually holds razor blades.

are you sure?




you are right, it´s a bladeholder. The "Gillette-Zippo" is selfmade from somebody.

It's a beauty Boris! Now if we could just find good pipes this way (or at least I haven't been able to). Nice find!

Funny thing was I went in with the agenda of finding an old pipe rack and an a meer...

Just want to say I hate you...

Seriously though, nice find I have been tearing up the swap meets and antique shops/malls trying to find one with an intact case for the last year to house my great grandfather's Big Fellow (great grandpap's has all the gear but only the bottom part of the case and the hinge part of the lid).
Great razor you'll love it.

Between you and this guy, there sure are some outstanding "found in the wild" items popping up lately.

That's a great find. I just love those wood cases.
