Closed WTBorrow a 1914.

[BigBoar]

I fancy a little jaunt into the world of SE.

If anyone could see there way to loaning me one with a blade I'd be very grateful.

Obviously I'd pay for postage and a blade.

Need to get this monkey off my back!

Greg.

I have a 1912 you can try if you like.

 

[Hairsuite]

Feeling generous after yesterday Taypsie?? Wait till I get home. I may have more than one... And have plenty of blades....

See the mighty Huddersfield Town are interested in your striker Ciftci ?

 

[BigBoar]

Cheers guys, kind offers! It's the 1914 I'd like to to try, but hey, beggars can't be choosers.

I have two working 1914s, three more which are pretty but don't hold a blade. I've just sent my "lender" out to ajc347 but when it comes back, you're more than welcome.

Give me a shout in about a month - give time to arrive, shave, shave again and come back to me.

He's a good hand, he actually looks excited to be playing and that rubs off, Celtic are interested too according to the papers, I got a couple of 1912s last year, nice little razors, but I have a drawer full of DE blades and it seems daft to go off in a different direction. I'll probs bung them on the BST as they're not getting used.

 

[Hairsuite]

I don't have a spare 1912 (god knows where it is) so if someone else could oblige Greg??

... unless someone else can get him one sooner.

If anyone can identify these you are quite welcome to borrow one, but I think they are all 1912's of one sort or another

I'm sure some of the handles aren't original

Leftmost, GEM Junior - later style comb, post-1930. Correct handle.
Next in, British 1912 "Chain Mail" handle ... correct combo, post-1930.
Next in, same ... is it gold?
Next in, same but with "Chain Link" handle ... correct comb, again, post-1930
Rightmost, GEM Damaskeene - correct handle. Pre-1919.

 

[Greenpotterer]

Thanks Paul you are the following the of all knowledge where 1912s are concerned the handle on the first one is gold the rest of the parts are chrome or nickel plated

[pjgh]

Ah, tough one to see ... the handle style is right. Often those were gold washed and it came off really easily ... give the handle a good scrubbing with some metal polish and it'll match

 

[cheesepiece]

If anyone can tell me which is the 1914 I'll post the correct one to Greg tomorrow morning.
I have his address from a recent trade.

 

[pjgh]

The one on the right is a 1914. Being a geek, pre-1919 I'd say ... does it say "Co. Inc." on the inside?

Left is a 1924.
