It's taken a while, but I've been aiming to collect every Gem/Ever Ready SE Razor model that was produced. So far I have:

1901 Gem Jr (Lather Catcher)
1912 Ever Ready
1914 Ever Ready "Lift Here"
1924 Ever Ready
Ever Ready Streamline
Micromatic Open Comb
Micromatic Clog Pruf
Micromatic Closed Comb
G-Bar (Heavy flat top)
Gem Fetherweight (Light flat top)
Gem Pushbutton
Gem Contour

Things I know I don't have
Gem Jr - parade models with black bakelite handles
Gem Jewell
Contour II

I'd be grateful if people could suggest other razors that would make my collection more complete.

It's the Gem version of the Streamline. I think they were made around '52-'53. Plenty of pics online if you do an image search.

It would be interesting to know which is the original version out of the Jewel and Streamline
 
Thank you. Those are two SE that you never (or almost never) see on the US eBay. From pictures I've seen of the Streamline it seems like a well built razor.
 
I just happened to be perusing the web yesterday and came across this site.
So here's a GEM Parade Model that's available:

mmmmm... I paid $7 USD for mine, no box of course. If you want the, "full collector's set", +/- $20 US is not unseemly, tho' I would not pay an extra $10 to have someone do a polish that I can well do myself. RE tends to run a bit high, but...

+1 You got that right - I agree, they are fairly pricey. But, I was just passing the info along, and, as they say: "Caveat Emptor" ...
