the Schick razors are sold with Schick stainless steel blades and the Eversharp with the Eversharp blades. Notice up until this point no mention of the Krona name associated with these razors or blades, i.e. of 1967 they were selling these all throughout the year in a cardboard blister pack or in the plastic travel case.Īd from the Central Home New Jersey News Jan 1st 1967 Now here is an ad for the Schick double edge razor even though this ad is from Jan. Whether these razors came with long or short metal knobs is unclear but we know for sure by 1968 the Schick double edge razors switched over to long metal knobs.įirst here is an ad for the Eversharp razors, notice the razor is also packaged with Eversharp blades.Īd from the Oakland Tribune Feb 9th. They also sold Schick branded DE razors concurrently with these razors. We know for sure long metal knobs first show up on the Eversharp razors in 1967, which also disappear from the ad records by 1968. These razors came with the short metal TTO knob. Here is the first year I found these razors to be sold, no mention any earlier than 1965. Based upon my research the razors were produced between 1965 - 1977.įull page ads can be viewed via the attachments The second thing is the years these razors were made has never been fully figured out. Since it is Schicktember I've been doing some research on these and put together an approximate timeline for these razors.įirst 2 pieces of information, these razors with the exception of the Eversharp Eagle were always known as Schick double edge razors and not all Schick double edge razors were Krona razors. 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.This happens to be one of those razors that we know of but don't know that much about. 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. Here is a picture from a certain auction site.
