David Noton, a british landscape photographer said that. And me being an amateur photographer believe in such stament a lot.
Well I think I scored big time, it was a bit of luck and a bit of certainty. When I first saw the picture on the bay, I noticed something promising, so I waited and waited until the last 6 seconds to put my bid. And I won, after a couples of days tedious wait I got her, and confirmed my suspicions.
Here's the original picture, please take a good look at the original picture and try to guess what it is.
Did you do it?? yes, no? well here she is!
Not bad huh? speacially for 26 pounds, when she first arrived had a lot of gunk and the case was full of lint.
Now I'm wondering about the razor, In Achim's site they come with a New Improved I.E: Gold Bostonian, but not a Tuckaway... and also what about the silver bands? I wonder if they were added to prevent the razor from cracking? because they were factory made, they're a single ring, not welded together.
Also the head is different on the base it's ornated but not on the top.
The date code is 743121A
I'm really happy with it, this for me is one of the mos beautiful sets ever made.
By the way, when I saw the brush and soap holders on the orig. Picture, noticed some lines, I carefuly check on the blade holders and they were there too. I was like "well it better be" and it was!!
PS: the case was stamped only with the Gillette logo, it didn't say Cavalier or traveller or anything like that, I thought it was a bit unusual too.
