I think it is for the blade in use so that it is not stored in the razor, but that is just speculation on my part.

Interesting razor Todd. I wonder who Ward O was?

More likely a where than a who. I think it denotes which area of a hospital or some type of institution this razor was used.
I found this Golden Schick injector for a reasonable price.
I won't need to clean this one.
Looks like the former owner used one blade and decided an MMOC was not for him.

No great bargain, this Star 1912 cost me a sawbuck in Belle Fourche, SD. Good hunting for shave goods in that town.
Dawn and a toothbrush cleaned up the scummy head very easily. After looking at the photos, I sent the handle for a second bath.
I have 7 other 1912s: Gems and Ever-Readys in various finishes, handle types/lengths, and cosmetic states. But this is my only Star. I think there are 1912 Treets...

Picked this up at an antique mall today. Any info that can be provided about the possible manufacturing time frame is appreciated, and what blades will work with this if I decide to try it?
That is the 1924 patented Shovelhead, in my book a masterpiece. The patent applied for versions are supposed to have been produced from 1919 to 1924, I recall. American Safety Razor made them.
The PTFE coated Gem blade (by Personna) is the modern blade standard, but other Gem type SE blades are available. I recommend corking a PTFE before first use in a Shovelhead. PM me and I'll mail you a couple.

After weeks browsing through period paper ads, catalogs, consulting private collectors, even digging through the pages of the Library of Congress, here's the long-overdue updated version of this humble work of passion. If Gillette razors are easy to date because of their serial numbers and date...

ah.. I see that. Both are missing on the one I picked up.. wonder if the nubs are still able to hold a blade for use?
Oh well, I was hoping to save a razor, but it looks like this one isn't usable. Too bad....
And I can see why this design kinda fell to the wayside...
Schick E1 Deluxe cased set.
Picked this up the other day.
