Single Ring Question

I just received a very tarnished razor that I believe to be a Gillette single ring.

After polishing it up, I found it has no Gillette logo, although its handle is marked "PAT. NOV. 15 ' 04" and the inner barrel is stamped "B566962".

My question is, "Did the early single rings have no markings indicating Gillette as the maker?" I've read some posts that say all Gillette razors have the Gillette name on them somewhere. Thanks!

Yours is a nice one from 1910. Not all have the Gillette Logo, but with this Patent informations it is a Gillette.
