I believe this is an Old style, ball end, so mfg'd around 1928?

This was my dad's, I just found out that I had it yesterday. It goes "in the rotation" this morning, and will also get a chance to try out the Sunrise blades.

I've seen the Wiki page, but not as much info on the ball end.

Thanks for any help.

any numbers, markings, or words on the pieces?

Definitely an Old Type. If there's a serial number of the portion of the head with the comb, then that could be used to figure out how old it is. It should begin with a letter and then a series of numbers.

Looks like a Pocket Edition Old Type. A serial number would date it to the precise year. If it has no number, then it would be between 1921 and 1929.

Most importantly, it is Dad's razor - which makes it priceless!!

Enjoy the many great shaves you will get from this treasure!

No numbers, nothing but the Gillette and Made in USA on the underside.

Priceless, absolutely!!

I'm going to visit my dad tomorrow, he's 92, I may take this one and give him a shave with it!! He really loves the hot towel treatment, and with his eyesight, can't really tell what he's doing with the razor. He's used an electric for years, but really doesn't like it.

That, sir, is righteous and wonderful. I'm sure both of you will treasure the event.
