    These came in today :)

    From one seller, I bought this Apollo razor

    I found one site where they date this D.R.G.M. no. to pre WWII

    And from another seller:
    An Atlas razor, including extra blades

    Didn't find any date for this yet. And is there a part missing at tthat threaded bottom?

    A Bakelite Fasan razor, including various blades

    Didn't find any model no. on it.

    And, this one was sold as unbranded...
    but it's a Gillette :)

    And the deal included a sharpening stone, with original box, and...

    this is how it arrived

    (as if receiving the broken Mikawachi saucers wasn't bad enough... :rolleyes:)

    Cool razors. How could the post break that stone? Must have taken some effort!

    Many stones are synthetic and very brittle.

    Do you have that missing corner from the stone? Was the stone shown unbroken in the listing?

    I think that's completely missing.
    Now that you mention it, I actually don't remember seeing it.:confused: I'm not sure, and when an item is marked as sent, it's automatically taken from the site, so it's no longer possible to check the pics. I only found the main photo with google, and it isn't visible there. Not sure if it was visible in any of the other photos.
    So, this one could already have been broken... :(

    Based on the text on the box, the stone dates to pre 1947
