Which Gillette did I just get?

I found this in my grandfather's desk. Fortunately for me, he has used an electric razor religiously for over 50 years.

Flare tip.

Nice find!

Nice find!

Thanks. Lucky for me, my grandfather is a hoarder.

I won't sell this, but what would this fetch? You can't tell by the picture but it's in pretty good condition.

It is what I call a 60's Style Super Speed. It has a slightly different head design from the earlier 50's style flare tip. See the link in my signature for more info.

Edit: BTW, isn't it fitting that my 3000th post was a Super Speed post.

$15-$20 recently.

Where can I find these date codes (on the razor)?

On the under side of the base plate. You'll see a letter in the upper left corner and a number in the upper right corner. You may need to clean it a bit to exposed them if it has any soap scum present. Then use those at the last link in my signature.

Thanks guys. It's nice to know that you can post a simple picture and get replies right away.
