The Gillette Toggle Adjustable hit the shaving scene in 1958 as a limited regional test. The patent was first brought about by Meyer J. Shnitzler, Brookline, Edward Michael Lewiecki, Hingham, and Joesph Muros, Newtonville, Mass assignors to Gillette Company, Boston, Mass. A corparation of Delaware. Application November 1, 1955, Serial No. 544,226.
It re-appeared again in 1960 in the third and forth quarter for the Christmas season and then it was to be made no more. The Toggle came in the familiar hard case as well as the lesser known soft case or pouch.
A rare 1958 Gillette Toggle prototype that sports the red dot and the digits 1 through 5 only. I found this and I cleaned and sanitized it cuz it reminded me of my Granddad's. Little did I suspect this is a very rare safety adjustable razor... They go for $500+!!!
