Finally found a decent looking DE at an antique store today, a Gillette Tuckaway, in very nice condition, in the silver case. The case has a small bit of brassing on the bottom and a few scratches on the cover, but otherwise it is in very nice shape. The velvet isn't so great and the blade holder is missing, but he 3 piece razor is in excellent condition. No cracks, very clean, no brassing of the finish. I think its a good deal for the $22 I paid for it, did I do good?

Did a bit of cleaning on it tonight, need to do a cleaning and sterilizing before using it.

In my opinion, the Tuckaway set is one of the most beautiful things Gillette ever produced. I have a weakness for them. ;) Great find!
