Old type single ring question

[GentsInstinct]

Did Gillette make any old type single ring razors without a serial number/date code? I thought all of them from 1904 until 1929 had the serial numbers? Did they make any of these in 1930?

check the inner barrel.

All Gillette Old Types made after 1921 had no date code.
The single ring wasn't made after 1921 only the ball-end "Brownie" version was made from 1921-1928, they had the thicker caps and no serial numbers.

This one doesn't have a ball and it's an old type...

There are a few that don't have serial #s but I don't know what the production years were.

Unless I'm mistaken all Single Rings had serial numbers. They were located either on the inner barrel or on the inside of the head.
