On offer is a nice example of a vintage Gillette Aristocrat closed comb one piece safety razor with a with butterfly opening mechanism. I think this dates from the 1950s, and may be the #66 model. It comes in its original case, and has the remains of the card outer box. I'm not a collector of vintage razors so I may be wrong on the details - please feel free to correct me if I am. Please look carefully at all the pictures as they form part of the item description.

The razor measures approx 8cm in length, and the weight is about 73 gms. The mechanism works smoothly, and when the handle end is turned the doors open and close smoothly. It is stamped under the blade tray with the Gillette diamond logo, and "Made In England". Inside the blade tray is stamped "Patent Pending". There is no blade fitted in the razor.

The razor is in really nice condition, but has some very light marking from use. It is a little grubby from storage so would benefit from a clean. None of this detracts but is best mentioned to avoid any disappointment.

The leather (or faux leather) covered case measures about 9.5cm x 8cm x 3.5cm. It has the name "Gillette" on the lid in silver lettering. Inside the base of the case is lined with green velvet, and the lid is lined with a silky fabric. The lid opens and closes smoothly, but the hinge is loose and doesn't snap shut. There are signs of age and wear to the lid.

The remains of the card outer box are tatty, but it's still nice to have them. On one side is printed "Made in England Contents Protected By Brit Pat Nos 646,972, 694,094, 694,333 & 687,134".

Despite any cosmetic faults this is still a nice vintage razor that would enhance any collection.
