What's new

More info on this Tech?

I received this Gillette Tech today and I have had some difficulties making 100 % ID on it. As you can see from the attached photos, it is Made in England. No patent numbers visible. The end is like in aluminium handle Techs, but it is certainly not made of aluminium. The razor weights 60 g. I have found discussions about this types of handles made out of brass, and it seems like mine is too.

Does anyone know what year this could have been made? (Or any other information?)

Thats kind of a cool head on that one. Unfortunately some of these were made with no letters or numbers on the actual razor so me must determine the age by the blades that came with the razors. Here is a Example of what I'm talking about. Its a set from the 60's similar to yours with no markings. Considering the design of the word Gillette on your head I wouldn't be surprised if someone comes along and knows within a few years the age of your razor.
 
The english Gillette didn't had any date code back in the 50/60, however you can guess by the style. This one is from early 60's, I have NOS like this one.

Edit: Just noticed, behind the dispenser of mine is writen 'Gillette of Canada Limited Rd. 1960'
