I sold one for $750 a few years back. They are a scarce Gillette. For a sure enough collector it is a chunk of change but hey .... might be the only one he'll ever see. At one time I had all of the double ring Gillette DEs from 1903 or was it '04 .... anyway, I had 'em and once I had all of the variants, with boxes and all, it was like .... is that all there is ? So I sold them. I realized a while ago that I can't take any of this stuff with me when I finally go. :angel:

Y'know it shaved alright but I've read that they developed it first, with the adjustment ring at the bottom, and found that the propensity for soap/gunk to get into the mechanism, was more likely with the ring at the bottom. Not sure if there is anything to that. The balance was different than that of a 'normal' ring at the top fatboy.

I saw that and thought it odd but kind of cool - kind of like a watch that has a glass backing kind of cool. I like it. But sure, the balance would be different wouldn't it.
I wouldn't know about the gunking up either. All I know is I'll never know at that price lol.
