New Feather Weight and blades

[HoosierTrooper]

I bought this cased Feather Weight yesterday at an antique store for $10 mainly for the blades. There's 4 in the vault and as you can see they're Gem stainless but look differently that the current ones. Used the FW and the blade in the photos this morning and it was great! Every bit as good as the current production blades.

The case and razor are both in excellent shape, I just need to clean and polish the case.

Anybody ever seen these, or have any idea when ASR made this style of the stainless blade?

I bought a g bar in a case like that. Did not have blades in with it though. Never seen those blades. Those razors do shave great.

Good choice of razors Hoosier. I had one but decided to sell it cause it was difficult for me to handle. The handle was kinda slippery when used with a wet or damp hand. Kept slipping around in my hand. Had similar problems with a Contour. But both razors did give me darn good and often BBS shaves.

The Feather Weight is nowhere near a favorite of mine, but the blades are what intrigued me.
