All it has is a Pat # on it but even then I've been unable to find it in the patents. It's an SE that took a proprietary blade but a desplined GEM works great! I still have the original box and sales receipt showing it was sold to it's original owner in 1921 from a hardware store in Wisconsin called Roepke & Beversdorf for $1. When I get home from work I'll send you some better pics of it.
Here's a similar one I have. They seem to be generic ones made for hardware stores.
Nice! looks like same style. The box is almost identical to mine as well. I forgot I shared images and I for on my IG. I sent you a link to it via PM.
Dave in KY, my inquiring mind needs to know, is the same? Is it in Waite's Compedium? Will you post here or your Journal? I am staying tuned for the next installmant of "The Case and The Mysterious SE Hardware Store Razor!"
