A nice SE score

Picked this up yesterday:

The box isn't in great shape, but the instructions are there and so is the screw that they included for hanging the holder. I believe this hasn't not been used:

That set was known as the Minuteman, what a great find Jim!

Didn't know that, thanks! It was an Antique show and out of the thousand or so vendors, I saw only one Old Spice mug. It's really unbelievable...

Sweet Score.

Do you know the origin of that nickname?

It looks like it would be difficult to get out of the holder.

Or is this one of the models you just mount on the wall and rub your face on?

I want to see you try to get under your nose doing that. Pics or it didn't happen!

To the OP, nice catch.

 

[Greyfox]

Very Nice! Congrats!

 

[BrianK]

Neat! So is there anything in the silvery boxes?

 

[HoosierTrooper]

Do you know the origin of that nickname?

No, I sure don't. They were made under both the Gem and Ever-Ready brand, only difference was the finish.

Nice score Jim!! Could you post a couple pics of the contents?

 

[MaxP]

A very nice find. Very nice, indeed.

How about because it's hanging on the wall in front of your nose you don't have to rummage through your entire collection agonizing on which one to use next. Saves minutes off the time needed to shave in the morning. It'll save you minutes man. Hence Minuteman

Not that much. Let me know if there is a real interest in scanning the instructions.



Here is something I saw this afternoon. She wanted $35 for it and what you see is what there was. Still interesting enough for taking a picture.

That's an Ever Ready 1924 razor. Did Ever Ready supply that one rather than the GEM/Damaskeene style razor with their sets?

 

[doug1066]

Very nice find. Some of the razors that have been purchased lately ALMOST make me want to buy another.

I wondered the same thing. All of the Minuteman sets I've seen had a short handled 1912 in them.

Me too. Maybe that's why this one doesn't say Minuteman on it?

 

[gearchow]

All right, I hate scanning (It must be the HP software I'm using), but here are the two sets of instructions that were included. Hopefully this helps you guys?

Forgot this one. There is your Minute Man reference. Must be a later model.
