I reckon its a 1912 SE. but I hesitate to reckon because i'm usually wrong.

I have a 1912 that looks similar, yours looks gold though. I LOVE IT. i always get great shaves from it so i suspect you will too. nice score!

i should say PAT. 1912 as it could be made in any year. just with the 1912 patent. but what do i know...
 
Looks like the GEM 1912. They are supposed to be very nice razors, but i could not get on with SEs. Good luck and nice find.
 
I didn't think these were produced in a gold finish - does this one appear to be gold because it's been soaked in a vinegar solution? that's what happened to one of mine.

ps - these gems shave great!
 
I have one in a gold finish just like that. Great shaver! Super find there, and congrats on your first discovery in the wild. You got a winner there.
 
It seems to be some kind of light gold wash on top of the brass. I have a straight brass one and it looks different.
