Thread: ID help required

I need help in identifying this razor I bought from eBay.



It was advertised as a "7 o'clock open comb safety razor". The latter is obvious. However, I'm finding the claim about it being a "7'O'Clock" razor to be another eBay sellers wild guess. I'm guessing it's an "old type", and there's no serial number or letter to aid finding out its age.

Have you tried working closely with this chart?

RENALDO.US - Gillette Razor and Blade Dating and Feature Information

Internet Museum of Safety Razors

I've had little luck with the first, and didn't know about the second URL. Looks like the razor dates between 1921 and 1929.

Thanks for the pointers.

You're welcome.
