Need help dating a Old Style, but don't know if it is a Gillette or a clone.

No serial number, no patent, no branding of any type. It is a single ring and looks like Gillette Old Type and possibly silver plated. There is slight patina in a few places, but overall the condition is very good. The case is plated and has a light brown felt lining with no branding.

my goodness...look at the gap in those teeth.

Usually clones would have some sort of ID, I'm stumped...

Is that head flatter than a Gillette's? It appears not to have much of an arch... Like a German razor I have, also it has widely spaced teeth like mine. Could it be a Standard? Made in Germany?

Looks like a clone to me at first glance

+1 clone . . . where is the serial number? I don't see the patent date on the handle.

Probably a pre "depression era" copy (late 20's early 30s). Possibly German made.

The real test is..... How does it shave?

You mean how does it rake.....did u see those teeth

It's not flatter, may even have more of an arch.

Welcome to B&B. I see you've been around for a bit but at post number 2 and 3 in this thread, I could not help myself.
