Gem 1912 Travel Set (razor pics)

[moe72]

Have seen very few of these. Actually this is the only Gem Travel Set I have seen that I purchased a few months ago.

 

[moe72]

Wow! Nobody likes this.

 

[cryhavoc]

Very nice

 

[fcdiscus]

Sweet!

 

[HoosierTrooper]

Very nice! And a Star brush with it, that's really cool.

 

[moe72]

Thanks. HoosierTrooper, do you know the timeline for this set? Like I said, never really seen a true Gem Tavel Set like this.

 

[duokun]

Jealousy.

 

[TheVez2]

Cool, never seen a set like that. Agree that Star brush is killer!

 

[HoosierTrooper]

Thanks. HoosierTrooper, do you know the timeline for this set? Like I said, never really seen a true Gem Tavel Set like this.

No sir, no idea. Never seen one like it.

this may be a silly question, but if one tube had the Star brush, what's in the other?

If it's like most travel sets that would've held a soap stick.

 

[moe72]

When I purchased the set, the tube did have a stick of soap. However it was quite moldy and generally unpleasant.

 

[TheVez2]

You didn't toss it did you? Old soap like that is a treasure. You can wash off the surface gunk and get down to pure vintage soap goodness.

 

[moe72]

I tried that. It pre-dated the fossil record. I like vintage soaps as much as a lot of guys here, but this one was beyond help.

Looks Awesome!

That Satin looks new

Nice set, moe72,

I hadn't realised that the Ever-Ready and Gem are the same razors until I stumbled upon B&B

 

[HoosierTrooper]

Nice set, moe72,

I hadn't realised that the Ever-Ready and Gem are the same razors until I stumbled upon B&B

There are also Star branded 1912's that are the same.

nice score

 

[moe72]

Thanks gentlemen. Found the set, knew it was something a little out of the ordinary and had to purchase. Besides it was in such good shape.
