![]() The razor bottom is marked 1-2-M-5 made in USA with a Schick triangle logo. Looks like those Eagle logo Eversharps trademarks went into effect in 67.Įarliest we can date the eagle logo based on the first use in commerce date is 19651101. Under the blade dispenser I found the original mint Schick instructions sheet that had a notation 'M-64-32' at the bottom of the sheet and also a seperate 10 cent coupon for Schick 'Hot Lather' with and expire date of Sept 10. Search eversharp and you should also get all the Schick and Krona records in one search.Įarliest record I could find, submitted in 60 and approved in 61Įverything says according to records the first commerce use date for the Krona name is in 1960. ![]() These are pertinent records for the Krona trademark. What I can narrow down for sure is when the Krona trademark was first put into use. That maybe a way to prove the 64 - 65 time line and types of razors they were producing. They do show up and that is one way to date the razor styles since a lot of them had dated coupons on the back of the packages. If someone happens to have this particular Krona in the original packaging that will go a long way towards answering my question. I am also making an assumption about short knobs being first and long being second based on the fact they never made short plastic knobs that I know of. The specific time periods they list pre 67 I haven't seen anything definitive, doesn't mean someone won't post something to prove that is the case either or it has been posted elsewhere, so I take those dates with a grain of salt. The door stampings are whole nother issue. I researched other forums with no luck on the answer of what exactly this razor is in relation to the other Kronas including the B&B wiki and threads which are informative but not for this particular Krona. No one seems to know where this fits in on the Schick timeline. This one doesn't and it is the only Krona without the triangle in the Schick logo on the knob metal or plastic.Ĭlick to expand.Observed and known are 2 different things here. The other is this razor with a short metal knob.īesides the various door markings all the base plates had an M and 3 numbers on them along with made in the usa. So the only anomalies on the metal knobs are the Eversharp Eagle which has the long metal knob and older lifter design. I've never seen a metal knob Krona with newer lifter design thus far. So based on that we can date the plastic knob Krona razors 67 with the base plates stamped patent pending 67 and those without 68 and up with a great deal of certainty and the metal knobs pre 67. Some say patent pendingĪnd once the patent(s) were issued they removed that from the base plate. There are 2 variations which make these date-able to a specific year range. They also changed the door lifter assembly I think at the same time as the plastic knobs. Also they were giving away old stock Krona metal knob razors in 68 with a purchase of blades. Short metal knobs > long metal knobs > long metal knobs taken off market while new lifter design is worked on > Eversharp Eagle sold in it's place or sold side by side> Eversharp Eagle retired > plastic knob w/ new lifter design replaces it or sold side by side with Eversharp Eagle until stock is sold out. The first iteration had short metal knobs What I do know about Krona razors is this. So now you know when these were produced, which style coincides with approximately which years and which ones are Krona razors and which ones aren't.Here is a picture from a certain auction site. View attachment 1017675 View attachment 1017676 View attachment 1017677 This style should be a 68 - 74 possibly late as 77. This long metal knob razor should be called a Krona, notice the newer lifter mechanism and writing on the doors. View attachment 1017682 View attachment 1017683 See how the lifter and door heads are common to the 67 and earlier razors. ![]() These most likely are 1967 or early 1968 before they are rebranded as Krona razors. They based on this will fall into Krona or not Krona.įirst the not a Krona long metal knob razor. That leaves us with the long metal knob razors. Notice they have the newer lifter mechanism and notice how the doors are marked on them. The 3 on the right are Krona razors since they don't appear until the Krona brand name gets associated with these razors. They are not Krona razors since they would predate 1968, they also have no markings on the doors on the heads. The left 3 which are the 2 short metal knob Schick versions and the Eversharp Eagle. The 3 on the left have the older lifter mechanism, the 3 on the right have the newer lifter mechanism. View attachment 1017678 View attachment 1017679 So how do we tell them apart visually you have to look at the lifter mechanisms and markings on the doors. Short answer is any razors produced prior to about Oct 1968 are not Krona razors and any razors produced Oct. Finally how to tell which razors are Schick Krona razors and which ones aren't well we can do that based upon a few manufacturing revisions.
