A late ABC set....made by ABC not Gillette.

Ok thanks for that Alex but do you think this is a correct set or mismatch razor and box??

I had my eye on that one. My initials are CMB and if that H were an M, I doubt you would have ended up with it.

That said, I am glad that it was one of us that ended up with it!

Congrats

i read that and it looks to be a correct set based on that post but i thought i would just throw it out there with some pix just to settle my mind.


So you were the Guy driving up the price Hillbilly??? I had to have this one it looks so cool to me. im gona shave with it in the morn. and i cant wait.

 

[hillbilly pick]

No Sir! I didn't bid once! If that middle initial was "M" i would have been that guy.

I have an ABC and Alex helped my ID it too. I have a gun-metal Flower case and the gold shell razor and love the shave. The balance is great!

Enjoy

 

[Jeremydelagarza]

oh dang the gun metal case looks good... i would love to find one of those,,,

yeah have been getting some good razors. abc flower, Empire, 66, Executive rhodium, mint fatboy w. instructions., mint british flairtip., all in about 2 weeks. those go good with the ones i already have. I think i like british razors. and out of the british i like the rhodium ones. so im going after some of those now.

 

[Jeremydelagarza]

Nice Pick up )

That's not a late set at all. The flip latch closure is the earliest style case, which matches perfectly with the 1909 date from the razor's serial number. Looks like a very nice early Empire set to me.
