Very fun find! No. 00G

[AsylumGuido]

I was fortunate to come across this beauty yesterday after my son's college swim meet. I really love road trips. A nice little No. 00G set.

Wow, very nice find.

That's the first time I've ever read the 'license'.
While my respect for the razors they made grows daily, my respect for the company that made them just fell through the floor. Microsoft could have written that, or autodesk. Patent abuse is what that is.

 

[Topgumby]

Gillette and his peers were hardball monopolists.

The strange thing is, the whole time he was trying to crush his competitors through any means short of violence, he was writing Utopian commie screeds.

They did build nice razors, regardless, and that one is pretty as the first girl you see after a long deployment.

Great catch! Your set looks very complete with this lovely brush!

Reading the patent info kinda makes me hate Gillette even more, and I only like one my Red Tip.

Great score mate!

Thanks, Achim! As you can see the brush was still wrapped in it factory paper, but I had to carefully remove it just to get a picture. I have never seen one before.

That is awesome! I can imagine the jumping heart feeling that you would have when you spot something like that in the wild. Beautiful!

Actually, my wife spotted it and came to me and said, "I think I found something that might be good." What an understatement!

00G set? Should that maybe read OMG set, as in "OMG, what a find"?

That's a beaut! A question on the brush, is it the brush you've never seen before, or this brush (as in plated metal).

The reason I ask, I know where there is a similar set, but a very beat up case, bad crack in the razor, no box (naturally). But it does have a Gillette brush in the tube, used, white plastic with logo. Set is $24.50 I think. Worth picking it up?

+2 Stunning! Where do you happen upon such wonders? This definitely needs to be added to the Wiki, if it hasn't been already!

Yup. That's it. I have seen the ivory colored Gillette brush in sets, but I have never seen this metal one. I was extremely surprised when I unwrapped it.

And yes, any of these sets would easily be worth $24.50.

This was found in an antique mall where I found my NEW DeLuxe a year ago. This was the first time I had been back since then. I paid a lot more than I would have paid a year ago, but finding a set like this in unused condition is extremely rare.

 

[Oldguy]

Wow! This has to be the nicest set I've seen anywhere. What a beauty. It doesn't really matter what you paid as long as you didn't have to take out a second mortgage. You will never see a set in this condition again. Congratulations.

Congratulations! I am particularly happy to learn that it has gone to someone who will appreciate its value, and not just someone with idle curiosity. It looks to me like it's destiny.
