Heres a recent find; as you can see, its an old OC marked EverSharp, or perhaps Ever Sharp (?), its hard to tell for sure given the cursive font. Also, it is possible to read it as EvenSharp, but Im inclined to go with Ever.
As you can see, its a Gillette Old Type knock off; in fact, the head is almost a dead ringer for the thin-cap OT. I assume this would have to have been produced after Gillettes patents expired, but it looks like it could have been pretty shortly thereafter. The build is quite nice; all brass and the plating appears to be silver. Alas, at some point someone took a wire brush to it, so its sort of a wounded warrior, appearance wise. The shave is very OT-like, as you might expect, which is to say somewhat aggressive but reasonably so.
I have never seen or heard of an open comb DE marked with the Eversharp brand; only injectors and the much later Krona DE. Im curious if this is actually a Schick/Eversharp razor, or if some other company boosted the Eversharp name (before being promptly sued, I would imagine.) I havent been able to discover any information on this razor, so Im turning to the B&B historians to see if anyone can shed any light on this mystery. Anybody got any reconnaissance on this one?
