My determination paid off!
On a monthly basis, sometimes more, I stop in at 3 huge antique malls in my area. In the past 2 months I have found a few things but nothing great. I keep going, trying to find some quality stuff. Today I found them.
3 Gillette techs, all are marked made in Canada and 1932. The two silver ones have the triangular shaped cut outs by the safety bar.
One shave brush that really caught my eye. Its marked Meakins on the bottom.
A Joseph Elliot, Best silver steel, Sheffield England. The gold wash on the blade says Just Right.
And last but not least, an old Coticule that was super dirty. It had a huge dish in it but my Atoma 1200 had no problems flattening it out. Its a natural combo stone 28mm x 128mm. Nice little coticule.
The brush name is the most intriguing. If anyone has info on this company, that would be appreciated.Burls, Girls, and all things that Swirl....

Nice find Andrew!
And I found this on Wikipedia, might be the same company.
"J. & G. Meakin was an English pottery manufacturing company founded in 1851[1] and based in Hanley, Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire."
The coti alone was worth the hunt.
