I found this New to have a flat bottom, I never noticed it untill now. Anyone know anything about the head? it came in a black and red case.
Thanks

Strange New head

From Mr-Razor website:
The case and handle look like a 1936 / Red and Black Set / common bar handle
The head look like something like a Big Fellow but it might be wrong
all thanks to Mr Razor! I did not find a matching set to yours, that's why I think it might be from 2 different kits!

I think your right, the head is the NEW Big Fellow De Luxe.
Don't NEW Tuckaways have the flat bottom plate as well?
From what I saw on Mr-Razor's website, yes but they also have the guiding pins coming out...
I have a new deluxe that may be a Criterion that has a head like that too.
It even has the same extension on the inner barrel

This head unscrews from the handle like a Tech, not like the New Improved
My understanding is that only the Deluxe models during that period had serial numbers and the red and black box you show was not considered to be a deluxe model.

I dont think the head came with the case originally
I have a razor with that same head that has no serial number. We discussed it in a recent thread. I'll see if I can dig it up.

It has the same PAT NO as all the the News I have
Antique Hoosier
“Aircooled”
These are some of my very favorite Gillettes of all time! They deserved to be shown in a jewelry store vs drug store.
There is so much more variety than (as a real newbie) I would every have suspected. Thanks for enlightening me. This journey is getting more and more exciting (and it's nice to have such knowledgeable guides)!

I had no idea I had such a rare razor, wish it had the handle it came with
The head is called a New Deluxe and it came on a variety of handles. I am not sure that your bar handle is not original.

Here is a picture of the back of the head
new deluxe vote from me too, though I'm hardly credentialled.
