Newest Arrival 1910's Gillette British Mayfair De Luxe

[thirdeye]

Well now, these beauty just landed on my doorstep this morning about 3 hours ago. It is a wonderful example of a NOS near mint 1910's British Made Gillette Mayfair De Luxe 7'6 Old Type. It comes in it's original shipper and case with the traditional wax paper wrapped blade between cardboard sheets.

As you can see it has found it's way right into one of my display cases, taking up it's rightful place among the finest Gillettes of the era.
A special thanks shout out to texbilly for affording me the opportunity of owning this grand and very rare piece.

There is an NOS Fat Handled Tech, a Ranger Teach and a Book written by King C Gillette himself.

Ray,

The Mayfair looks great! Much more at home amongst its cousins than on my lonely shelf!

Just in case you missed it, here's a shot of the bulk of my collection stuffed into two 6' glass cases with the Gillette give-away paper masks framed above.

Did the set come with any blades? What does the inside of the case look like???

Thought I'd help out since I was the previous owner. In my BST listing you can see the inside of the case and the contents.
