What type of Gillette is this?

[ctakim]

This recently sold on the Bay for $33. I held off on bidding because I was not sure what it is. I've not seen it before. Look at the proportions. It looks like a sawed off Milord. It seems to have the dimensions of a Tuckaway, but it is a TTO solid bar razor. Can anyone illuminate me more?

TIA

Chris, isn't that one of the many Milady models? I don't recall seeing a TTO off hand but the proportions make sense. Interesting indeed.

Match?

Its a 1940, Milady Tech.

I saw this. I thought the picture was just distorted. I have a later Milord, the one with a faux alligator cover, but I have, I thought, this case. I put my razor in this cream colored case, and there is more room in my case than what this one shows. My case, however, is lined in the bottom with a dark brown felt. My two cases both have the same measurements.

So to sum up, I ain't got a clue.

Here is a thread about this rare type of TTO

Thanks guys, nice to get a quick answer to my question. Yet another reason why I love this place!

When it rains it pours. I had never heard of the Milady TTO and now it is featured in two current threads. Wonderful!
