It's not a razor, but it's the 4th counter top display case I've found out in the wild. It's in really good shape - just missing a rubber glass bumper (upper left corner) - no cracks in the plastic or glass.

That is gorgeous! Congrats, and enjoy it!
I have the exact same one bought it 5 years ago at a flea market for $40 bucks I think.
Finally got myself one of these off the Bay at a decent price:
The original, 74-81 year old case.
Inside the case, a 1938-45 Contract Tech. All metal and black coated.
Razor was well used, and well taken care of. Coating is fading, but still intact. Comparing the underside and top of the cap you can see the black coating is almost removed from the top. That's alot of shaves. The razor has the triangle openings on the base plate and the print/markings of a pre-war to wartime Tech.
Did pre-War Techs have the black coating or only the wartime techs? Just wondering.
I can not wait to try it out!
Have A Great One!

Here's the second tech set acquisition of today.
Nothing special but for little more than the shippingcosts I'll take it.
Ca. 1940 thin handle tech set.

Maybe it is just the silver which tarnished?
War Contract Tech. Congrats.

Thanks so much for the info, Achim! - superb to know and very cool advertisement!
Just saw one of these too, selling for $160 CAD in Canada
WOW x 3. Congratulations Achim.
Found this piece the other day for about $20. I would swear this thing was used for only a few months. Really great shape, just dirty (These pics are pre-cleaning).
It appears to be a 1959-64 J-Type, but any info would be appreciated. came with instructions and a pack of Krona blades, appears to have 6 blades in it. Original instructions included. The springs on the lid appear to be oxidising a bit, can anyone advise, is there much I can do to them? Also picked up a Canadian Old Spice Mug Old Spice Collectibles - http://www.oldspicecollectibles.com/Mugs/Canadian%20Mugs.html Number 10, has the X flag.
