1959 RARE Gold British Presentation Flare Tip Set
RICHARDS RAZORS; MAKE ME AN OFFER I CAN'T REFUSE!



Here we have a highly regarded and rarely seen 1959 Gold Plated
British

made flare tip presentation set. The plating and the clear lacquer
protective

finish have survived more than 50 years in great shape. The gold
plating is

in MINT condition, there is absolutely no loss at all. The TTO head
opens

perfectly and closes tightly and evenly as it was meant to do. This
beautiful

collectible razor is a very effective closed guard shaver with great
knurling

on the handle. The razor feels great in the hand. It has a mild head
design

and decent heft of 59g. The handle is about 3 inches long.



This presentation model of the Gillette flare tip razor came in this
classy

and rare leather case, The instruction brochure for this razor is
also

included, something rarely seen with this set. The razor is in MINT
condition,

the case a little less so due to a few scuff marks as seen in the
pictures.

The case is a real beauty as is the entire set. Also included is a NOS

dispenser of 10 Gillette Blue Blades still in the Original box which
has

never been opened.



1959 was a great year for Gillette's classy designs in the US and
England.

This is one of my favorites. Great knurling for grip on the handle,
and

twist to open mechanism makes it very easy to load a blade. On the
inside of

the blade compartment is stamped Brit. Pat. 694093. On the outside
bottom of

the blade compartment there are the Roman numerals II. These Roman
numerals,

(I, II or III) indicated the aggressiveness of the razor with I being
the

gentlest. This is a magnificent set that you will probably never see
again.

Please be sure to look closely at the pictures, they are true
representation

of this great collectible.

Terms of Sale:

When I describe an object as 'VINTAGE' or 'ANTIQUE' they will have the
typical wear and tear you

would expect with an older piece. Light scratches, scuffing & crazing
and such like would be

expected as opposed to a NEW condition. If an item is in MINT
condition I will say so. If an item

has any major issues - dents, deep marks, stains or heavy scratches
etc. I will bring these to your

attention in my description. All sales final.
