gillete super speed from 1940-1950
gillete flared super speed from 1954-1968
gillete good will from 1931-1932

both gems are from 1940-1955 time frame
one is metal with a plastic grip wraped around it
the other is brass

The first razor appears to be a Gem "G-bar" I believe they were in production around the 1950's

the second one is a Gem Micromatic but I don't know about the time period it is from.

Very nice razors pick up a pack of Gem personna blades from wallgreens and give them a shave see how you like them.
