Wasn't me cause look at that HUUUUGE International Postage
Huge Vintage Gillette Adjustable Safety Razor Display in Lucite Case. My father worked at Gillette's for 40 years and this was a unique item given to him after it had been used during an important conference. The razor is an adjustable type made of solid brass (it is non-magnetic, I checked) and measures 16" long and 7" wide. Also included in the big case is a painted solid wood box of double edge blades that is 7" long. The thick Lucite case has a hinged door and is lined with cloth satin type material. The cloth reads - Gillette Adjustable. The case itself measures 32" long and about 10" wide when closed. The razor is perfect, the wood blade display has a chip on the back side, the cloth cushion material has some brown foxing from age, the Lucite case has a few issues - 1 small crack, 1 side and end is loose but just needs to be glues back in place, the hinges need to be screwed back into place, there is some glue residue from tape my father had used to keep it closed securely. Basically the case just needs some cleaning and minor repairs to make it look fine again, the razor is perfect. It weighs nearly 46 pounds as shown so the shipping will be based on a packed weight of 54 pounds double boxed. My father had told me this was probably a "one of a kind" item and he said it had been made at the machine shop in the Gillette factory at South Boston Massachusetts.
