    Default 3 to go

    Found these today. A quick clean up with scrubbing bubbles and towel dry. From left to right: Canadian Gillette gold OC ball handle, English Gillette tech with metal ball handle and USA Gillette Gold Fat Boy last quarter of 1959 (E4).

    After a bit of research found out that the gold Fat Boys were called the Executive and when new sold for $5.00 as compared to a regular Fat Boy at $1.95. The knurling on the handle is also different from the regular Fat Boy, apparently it is like that found on the Gillette Toggle model. What doe all this mean? I really need to get a life.
