Is this a Single Ring?
I assume it says "Known the <Gillette> World Over"
I don't know much about Old Types, but I have never seen that stamp.

Yeah its a single ring :/ never seen the stamp under the top head thingy hehe.
Kind of seems like an unfinished phrase.
Made in England? It looks like the cousin of a single ring that Porter mentioned. In this case my guess is that the 'E' is for England rather than 1917-18. The razor may be early Leicester production, ca. 1909 when the diamond logo had just been introduced.
I picked up this unusual Single Ring recently, and when I got it I found it was even stranger than I first thought. The serial number (E239300) is stamped on the smooth band at the bottom of the handle where the patent date normally is (first image), the British patent number is stamped circumferentially around the very top of the inner barrel (second image), and the top of the guard plate and the underside of the cap are both stamped with the full Gillette diamond logo including the "Known the world over" (third image).
Anyone have any guess as to what those crazy Brits were up to here?
(Sorry for the pre-cleanup pics, but this one was too strange to wait.)
You could probably sell that for $4,000 on ebay.
