SUPER RARE!!! Gillette Aristocrat One-Piece Razor MADE IN ENGLAND c1940's - POSTAGE R30

This magnificent Gillette razor (plated with rhodium) from the 1940's is highly sought after!!! It is in excellent condition! We believe that it was probably only used once or twice, as it is in almost new condition and also still has all 10x original razor blades sealed in their wrapping. The owner probably only used the one blade that came in the razor (we assume, as it has been used). It comes in the original chrome case, with silver wording imprinted into the velvet interior. The chrome holder for the blades still lifts up and closes down. The bottom of the razor screws the top of the razor open and closed. This still works perfectly. The razor is also imprinted/marked, as can be seen in the photo below. This set also still has the original Gillette card, rhodium card and instruction pamphlet inside. HIGHLY COLLECTIBLE AND IN BRILLIANT CONDITION for its age!!! A must have for the Genuine Collector! POSTAGE R30.

The chrome holder for the blades does have some dirty/aging specs (not rust), which we believe can be polished away/removed.

These are where the 10x blades in their original wrapping are stored.
