I have One in a Frame..An Auld Blind Gent from the USA kindly gave it to me as a Gift..Hmm, I wonder what the 1946 ad looked like?
Beautiful line up Billy [emoji2]The Schick Type G series was introduced in 1946 with the Eversharp take over from the Schick Repeating Razor Company until they ceased production in the year 1955...When the Type G 1 was introduced it took over from the Type E s that ceased production in the USA in 1946...Canadian Type E Injectors however were continued to be made for many years after the Eversharp introduction of the G 1 well into the mid 1950s...
Eversharp G Type series...
G1: moulded Ivory plastic seamed handle
G2:14kt gold handle (solid metal)
G3: Gold plated ( Hollow handle )
G4: Schick 66 - blue handle, chrome textured head
G5: Turquoise handle (Often referred to as ladies Schick)
G6: Clear amber plastic handle
G8: Square, partially ribbed handle
Eversharp G Type series in numerical order ...
Another Group shot....
The Type G series unlike the Type E series did not vary in terms of aggression...In other words there are no head variation's...They all shave pretty much the same...The build quality did vary...The early type G 1 had a better build quality than some of the later rounded neck models and the Christmas Edition Gold Type G 2 is a real heavy weight to compared to the rest of the series... [emoji14]
Eversharp Type G Identification ...
The Type G can be easily identified by the numbers on the left side of the spring....The G Type has two patent numbers...1806087 and 1969945...The Type E has a single patent number..1806087...The Canadian Type E has got the same patent number as the USA Type E but has made in Canada 1937..
Some common misunderstands...
Some folks think that there was a mismatch of handles going on here...That couldn't be further from the truth....As a rule of thumb the Type G 1 can be identified by the Ivory Seamed handle....But here's the thing....The so called Type G 1 seamed handle was a "Clone" of the earlier "E Type handle"....Most Type E s can be identified as having a Bakelite Butterscotch handle but that's only partially correct as there was a USA made Type E 3 with an Ivory seamed handle and also some Canadian Type E s as well...
USA Type E 3 & Canadian Type E with seamed handle...
The one above is a Canadian Type E with an Ivory seamed handle and the one below is a somewhat rarer USA made Type E 3 with a seamed handle...To muddy the waters further there was also a somewhat rare USA made Type E 4 with a Seamed Butterscotch handle and also a later Type G 1 with a Seamed Butterscotch handle....Confused ?...
The bottom line is that you must identify the G & E Types not by their handle colour per se but by the patent numbers as mentioned above...

Confused..No Wonder..Appleby Says Himself that his Classifications are Not Exhaustive..If its a Ridged Comb its a Type E 3..All the Type E 2s have a Smooth Comb..Type E Injectors were Made in Both the USA & Canada Until Ever Sharp Took Over the Company in 1946..From 1946 the Production Stopped in the USA & Continued in Canada to 1955..Morning Billy, hope you dont mind me zhooshing up this thread again:
I'm just exploring the E type, and have bought cheaply on the bay, a type E (single patent #) - with a Ivory handle & stating made in Canada, 1937. Similar to your example above. How are these classified on the Alan Appleby table? e.g an E2.
On his table the G's are dead easy to identify. Mainly handle colour. With the E's it seems a bit more complicated regarding the position of the tabs. Not knowing type E's, this has thrown me. Or is it the case, that all E's were made in Canada (excepting your US example) and it is the tabs that are in different positions?
Sorry, a tad confused
Richard
Thank you Billy. Although not the easiest to make out from the photos; going for an E2 based upon a smooth comb.Confused..No Wonder..Appleby Says Himself that his Classifications are Not Exhaustive..If its a Ridged Comb its a Type E 3..All the Type E 2s have a Smooth Comb..Type E Injectors were Made in Both the USA & Canada Until Ever Sharp Took Over the Company in 1946..From 1946 the Production Stopped in the USA & Continued in Canada to 1955..

The widow Zain was a Scottish woman noted for her beastly looks. To win the fabled E 1 razor a man had to survive a night of "ash hauling" with her and that's how Billy came to possess the razor. It's a delicate subject to discuss I'm sure so I am acting as an advocate here for the valiant Zain Prize Winner. He took one for the team.
Nope. They got greedy.OK,
WTF is photobucket third party hosting @ £399 all about? have I been hacked ???
