I can't let that pass! My Ator (11/16) is not only my favorite shaver, it is one of the loveliest razors in my collection:

I love the shoulderless heel of the blade, and the hump on the tang over the letters. To me, the whole shape is just super-elegant. And... shiny!

Mine was made a lot later than 1903 I believe - it has 'Thursday' written on the spine, and the method used was spark-etching, which I'm pretty sure wasn't around in 1903.
