its either #1 or #2.. are those big fellows?
Those pictures aren't very good at showing the differences between 1 and 2, but yes those are big fellows.
The old type big fellow has a curved bottom. the New Improved has a flat bottom.

Yes, yours is an Old Type Big Fellow like #1 in that image. The easiest way to tell them apart from the New Improved version (#2) when looking at them from underneath the head like that is the thickness of the teeth in the comb. The New Improved's are much thicker and more or less the same all the way across.

Those clean up surprisingly well using the aluminum/baking soda method. http://badgerandblade.com/vb/showth...ck-Photo-Tutorial-for-Restoring-Silver-Razors
As always verry good information to help out with the description, you make it easy for others to understand what razors they have.
yes, ntroduced in 1919 and made for only a short time until 1921.
Thicker teeth
The Old Type is slightly longer New Improved (slightly ) 
Here are a few different ads from 1920 issues of The American Cutler. It's pretty hysterical how heavily they were playing to men's insecurities. They might as well have come out and said, "What?! You can't be serious shaving with that puny little razor. Why don't you just go put on a dress?"
I feel so girly after seeing these ads....wait, I am going out to buy a Big fellow razor now.
