The razor is attractive and seems to be in nice condition, considering its age. There is some plating loss and wear evident on the handle. The head shows significant plating loss and wear (appearing silver/copper in tone in places), but maintains some luster as well. There is a crack (common in this type of razor) beginning at the ball end of the handle. There is also a crack beginning in the neck area of the handle. All parts of the razor remain firmly in place. Please use the pictures to properly identify and evaluate. Feel free to ask questions before bidding. If you are considering multiple purchases, I offer a combined shipping discount of $1.69 for each razor I don't have to mail individually. No Returns. Review
from Badger and Blade Chronologically
speaking, the Goodwill came out after the NEW was introduced. They were
produced in 1931, and exist in several different configurations. Following the takeover
of Gillette (some call it a merger) by Auto-Strop, an entirely new
administrative and marketing team was at the helm. The country was in the
middle of the Great Depression, money was tight, and people were not buying
anything new unless it was an absolute necessity. (Sounds like these days,
doesn't it?) |
