The listing, Gillette Old Type Open Comb Razor has ended.
This is a vintage GILLETE three piece double edge safety razor. Gillette introduced razors with the "new" head design in 1929 and continued to produce variations until 1940. There were three main variations of the new head design: Deluxe, long comb and short comb. Most had short threading, although some Deluxe razors had long threading. I believe this razor to be a long thread or Deluxe model.
This razor has a copper head with gold tone comb and handle is mostly copper with gold tone collar. Very unique. This model is stamped with these three patents:
