What injector did I buy ?

[KLF]

Hello,

I received today my first injector and I'm curious to know what type is it ? From what I've read it might be E or G.
It came with the original cardboard case :









Thank you for your help !

E type. 20 years!

E-3? It could date back to 1935.

Looks like a G1, if the logo is Eversharp on the round metal tab under the head, the E series have Schick inscribed.

How do this injectors shave?

 

[razorx]

Flaps on the spring and a blue cardboard box= E-2

You can open it for cleaning,shaves more aggressively than later models

I tried it this morning, it was smooth and pretty aggressiveness, I nicked myself once but for a first use of an SE I'm very happy with it.

Far as I know, all of the E's handles are catalin (and butterscotch at that) and I think this one is plastic. I believe I can see the seam running down the middle, but maybe I'm just imagining that. Any razor can go into any case, but it's got those flaps. If it is the molded plastic handle, then I'm thinking it might be a transitional model - using up parts from the E series while using the new plastic handle.

Just guessing.

I was thinking the same thing, the Handle looks to have a seam, and if thats the case then its plastic, which would indicate it being a G-type, while the tabs on the spring and the fact that there is only one patent number makes the head an E-type
must be a transition model, either way it should shave superbly

Yes, it has a seam in the handle. The shave was smooth and I like it very much. If it is a transition model, can it be dated more or less ?

 

[Oscroft]

I have one the same. The handle fits the G description with molding seams along its length (the E handles were supposedly all caramel/amber colored Bakelite with no seams, I believe). But the head has the side flaps on the spring and irregular striations on the guard bar, which are generally considered E features.

Apparently the Es were made from 1935-1945, with the Gs made from 1946-1955, so I'd guess a transition model would be most likely from the 1945/46 period - perhaps early post-war manufacturing using up stock of older heads?

It was also when the Company was sold by Magazine Repeating Razor Co. to EverSharp Inc., This question had been raised ~6 months ago by someone who had a Canadian made Schick Injector with a similar characteristic; G head & E Bakelite Carmel Handle; http://badgerandblade.com/vb/showth...ctor-Is-This?highlight=identify+this+injector would your Injector be Canadian made?

Aha, yes! Mine (E head, G handle) is made in Canada.

And here's one I just found



It's made in Canada, has an E head with flaps on the spring and irregular striations on the guard bar, but a G5 turquoise handle.

I think it's a white handle G1, but your correct and also note the E case.
