I'm just hoping some of you delightful people can give me some information on these antique store finds.
The first one is quite dirty, and at first I thought there was nothing written on. But after a bit of a clean, I noticed the diamond shaped Gillette logo on it. So, I tried to find it on mr-razor, and the closest I could find is this. The handle looks identical, and the cap and guard look very similar except that mine has different shaped posts. Just wondering if anyone knows more specifically what it is. There may be more information hidden under grime, so I may be able to give more info, after another attempt at cleaning, if needed.
The Gem I know nothing about. On the back it says "GEM Made in England", and when it's opened up, it says "GEM BRITISH MADE" inside. I'd be happy to have any information about this.
The Valet, I think I have correctly identified as a VC2, but I figured I'd include a couple of pics of it anyway. It seems to be in decent condition, and the autostrop mechanism is in working order. I have a few compatible blades on their way, but I probably won't use it as a daily shave unless I absolutely love it, simply because of the price of the blades.
Thanks :)
