Just wrapped a PIF so time to put up another one. Up for grabs is a Red Tip Super Speed. First to correctly guess the date code takes it.
For our newer members or those that may not be familiar with vintage Gillette razors these flair tips (Red and Blue) were in production from 1955 to 1959 (Gillette stopped producing them once the FatBoy came to market). It is a twist to open razor and the more aggressive of the super speeds. It's a great shaver and a nice little piece of history.
So possible date codes consist of the year, represented by a letter-
A = 1955
B = 1956
C = 1957
D = 1958
E = 1959
Followed by a number 1-4, representing the quarter of the year.
So that's it, I need an "I'm in" and a date code. CONUS only, please. Members in good standing with let's say a minimum of 50 posts.
The razor is in pretty darn good condition and free is less than $1.29 it would've cost you new.
