Yep they definitely came in both nickel and chrome, have had both.You guys! The density of SE awesomeness in this thread has gone off the charts. Thanks![emoji106][emoji106]
Bonus for me - confirmation that my MM guiding eye is nickel plate!
Excellent!Posted this wild-caught vintage virgin guiding eye gold-plated Micromatic set in the SE acquisition thread, but the photo belongs here as well.
Interesting information, I did not know that Gem(A.S.R) had a blade plant in Canada. It seems that the big 3 razor company's Gillette, Schick & Gem had plants in Canada to make a foot hold for the future.No razors, just some historic documents.

Here is an anomaly either this variation is missing on the chart or this is just a mismatch or a Star or Star Jr head with a slimmer bakelite handle you normally would see on Star DE razors.

I don't know whether Gem had a plant in Canada. Star surely had one by 1921:
