Help date vintage Gillettes

[Boar]

Hi everyone,

I just acquired three vintage Gillettes today. I haven't tried them yet, but am extremely happy with how the look, especially the NOS New LC. I was wondering if I could get some help with the date or date range of manufacture of these pieces. I don't see any date codes on these razors.

1. New LC / Ball end handle / Made in USA
2. New SC / Common bar handle / Made in Canada
3. Tech / Fat handle / Made in Canada

Thank you.

Not sure the particulars but you can get an idea by checking these two resources:

Gillette Dating

And my personal favorite non-B&B shave site:

Mr. Razor

Those particular models should be easy to spot on Mr. Razor.

Just click the razors link and then the New and Tech links

The USA long comb New is pre 1933 - no reissue patent date on the underside. The Canada short comb appears (some glare in the pic on my computer) to have the reissue date, which would place it after the summer of '32.

LC 1929-31, SC 1933-40, but I don’t know Canadian markings, Tech should be post ww2.
