Vintage 1947 Gillette Super Speed/Aristocrat JR.
Functionally, the 47 US made Aristocrat Jr. is just a 40s 'No-Notch' Super Speed with a different collar and a pair of dimples inside the doors. If you haven't had the pleasure of using a No-notch, let me tell you, these things are like heaven on your face.
This one is in decent shape, but not perfect. The tto has a little hang-up when opening, but it will open and close fine. The knob has no droop, the doors are straight, and the guide bar is straight.
Plating is pretty good, with the only exposed brass being a couple of spots inside the doors and on the door wings, where I assume the end caps were pushed in and rubbed against the wings. On the subject of the end caps, They are firmly attached.
As with all my listings, everything has been boiled for sanitary reasons and then polished with a jeweler's cloth.
