VERY RARE 1922 Gillette Tuckaway G-in-D STAMPED Silver, New Improved All Items Sold for Best Offer This razor is extremely collectible, per Krumholtz Page 186; he lists the "G" in "D" as "Scarce".
This very nice Tuckaway in it's original case, the shaving kit comes from the 1920s, 1922 when these razors were not numbered. This razor has a G-in-D stamped on the underside of the blade head. There is light vintage wear to the plating of the razor and the case.
As with almost every Gillette razor of this era, there is a hairline crack at the end of the handle tube. The crack is stable, the pieces are secure. Shaving is not affected.
The teeth of the comb are straight. The razor has been sanitized in Barbicide and scrubbed with antibacterial soap. The case is square and sturdy; the latch latches and opens as it should.

When I describe an object as 'VINTAGE' or 'ANTIQUE' they will have the typical wear and tear you would expect with an older piece. Light scratches, scuffing & crazing and such like would be expected as opposed to a NEW condition. If an item is in MINT condition I will say so. If an item has any major issues - dents, deep marks, stains or heavy scratches etc. I will bring these to your attention in my description. |
