Thread: Breaking the Schick date 'codes'

There seems to be a big mystery on dates of Schick DE razors (specifically the Krona DE 'TTO' DE). If anyone has info (or pics) on Schick Krona DE, please post them here.

While there is some speculation as the "M" denotes the manufact. Plant of "Milford, Ct." However, there was only 1 plant. So, that is a moot point.
Here's what I, personally, have. I have 2 Schick Kronas.

1.) I rec'd from my Father (who was a barber back in the late '60's to early 70's), back in the early middle '90's. It was the razor he personally used.

The 2nd one is one I found 'in the wild' off eBay a few days ago.

Dad's has two noticable differences.
1.) The 'base' (for lack of better term) is 2 pieces vs 1 piece. (See pics).
2.) Dad's is a touch shorter in length.

Note: Neither of my 'silo doors' are stamped/labeled. Whereas some are stamped 'Schick' or 'Krona.' Nor are neither stamped with any type of 'pat.' Or 'pat applied for.' Also, Dad's is on the left of the pics.



Here shows what is stamped on the underside.
