Same Resale Shop!

[Rob341]

So I went back to the same resale shop that I found the two gillette double rings. The owners brother works for a bank that takes over estates when people die. He sent him a box with the three razors in it and told him to sell them. Well I bought the two Double Rings yesterday and went back today to buy the third one. It was still there and I got it next to nothing. It's made by Luna Razor Co. And stamped made in Germany. There are numbers stamped on the inside of the baseplate 64197. I think it's sliver?




Is there any information on Luna? Does anyone know the year?

Thanks
Rob

It's hard to see Luna Razor Co. in the first pictures. Made is Germany is to the right of the baseplate but to shallow of a stamp to see in a picture taken from an iPad.

I searched the internet machine and found this thread, it's got some good info in it:

Thanks Jason, great information on Luna. From what I have read, this is pre 1910 and might be one of first of German DE's. looks like a copy of the double ring. There is a reference in a law book about Gillette razor company vs. Luna razor company Ld disputing a patent. I am going to have to do a little more reading about that. If I'm wrong about any of this please correct me.
