I just received it. It is serial number 3805. Here are some more pictures.
You got it already??? Did he FedEx it to you? I guess at that price that's not a big extra eh.
It looks a lot better than it did originally. Nice score.

Hey Nick...
He shipped it last night and we are both in NJ so it got here pretty quick. It's good but still in rough condition. The "green" scares me a little.

I guess we'll see after an initial soak. I think I'm almost as anxious as you to see it clean up.
Great story!
Glenn, you may be surprised how nicely it cleans up. The other Nickel Serial Numbered Toggle is #3478 and yours is #3804. As the saying goes, "Very interesting"
congrats on a very special score!! and like others have said...the Cap is magician when it comes to razors!!
Hi,
And, what a great story it is!

Thanks for the encouragement Tom.
By the way, my serial number is in fact 3805 not 3804. We don't want to start any rumors - lol. I have to apologize, my pictures aren't that good especially the one of the serial number.

Sorry about the number typo Glenn.
I'm really happy for you sir. This really is an amazing find. After all the years of looking at razors, this is only the second one like this I've seen.
Big time congrats!!
Congrats, and a good story to boot. I was wondering who snagged this auction.

The razor is in the mail to CAP.
Gearing up for yet another Conti collector's item! I'm excited to see this one. After this one, I will have worked on every Gillette adjustable model, right?
A few weeks ago, I just did my first red dot fatboy, that was quite enjoyable.

Hi CAP! Thanks for agreeing to work on my serial toggle for me. As far as you working on all different models of adjustable I think you are missing this one.
I have one of this type that I may send to you.
