Saturday Find: Gillette 1904 Old Type OC DR

[novitiate]

I picked this up last weekend at a garage sale. It was in a box with a lot of other stuff. There was a Slim adjustable in there and that is what caught my eye. It wasn't until much later when I went through the contents of the box that I found the DR at the bottom. It is a sub 25xxx S/N and I have been shaving with it since then. It is a great razor and an improvement on the Gillette OC I was using (Tuckaway head on fat Tech handle). This is the second one I've found. MA is ground zero for great razors at great prices.

NICE FIND! I want to find a double ring

Wow and the handle looks to be split free!!!

Sweet find.

That is killer find, you could go to hundreds of yard sales and never find a double ring.

Probably thousands.

yup, I wonder what Mike and Frank on the American Pickers show pass up pick after pick. They have HAD to see some great sets.

Probably thousands.
