I thought it would be interesting to see who had the LATEST serial number on their Double Ring. I have acquired a very very early Single Ring with serial 404052. We know that Gillette produced 400,000 razors in 1906 and they switched to the Single Ring sometime in 1906. The first serial in 1906 was 370425, which was a Double Ring. So the last Double Ring occurred sometime between 370425 and my Single Ring (a difference of 33,627 units).
So, what's your Double Ring serial number? Maybe yours was the last one made if it's 404051!
Edit: Since nobody knows exactly when Gillette switched from the Double Ring to the Single Ring, we may just be able to figure this out for all future generations!
