Gillette Tech info required...

[Baz]

Hello chaps - Just found this ball-ended Gillette Tech complete with original case from the UK bay of fleas and awaiting delivery. Apparently this one was made in France. Looks to be in good condition so I took a chance. UK Seller responded quickly to queries re condition, but definitely wasn't an expert on shaving gear (mainly selling collectibles from France) though he did confirm that it's mechanically sound.

So, does anyone have any idea of a possible date? Case looks to me like it could be '60s? Do these have a date letter stamp?

Any info much appreciated...

Don't know much about these. What is stamped under the base plate? Country of manufacture? Codes? Have you looked at Mr. Razor's site?

This sounds like a job for mr. razor.

Looks like what in Australia was a Tech #24 kit ( though the #24 had a blue base )

Shown on Mr Razor's site in a 1958 Australian Pricelist:

I think too it´s a No24 Tech set. It give it in different collors like blue, maroon or red. The early pricelist with this set I know is this German pricelist from 1953:
