That is the bed that is under the blade.

Think it's old?

What does the writing say

 

[MackDigger]

Right bottom is made in USA, left bottom is some sort of brand logo that I can't make out, top right looks like "PAT OFF" and top left I can make out what looks like REB but I can't read the rest of the word/words.

I'm no razor expert but I would say it prolly 1920,s. To 1940,s just a guess

Hey Mack,

Depends on your definition of "Old," I suppose. I used to shave with a similar model, once upon a time in America. I suspect yours may be a Gillette from the Forties. It possesses a substantial amount of it's former shininess.

I think it's gotta say:

"REG.US Pat. Off.

<Gillette> Made in USA"

1940s Gillette Gold Tech Safety Razor Ball End Type​

Yup that's the one! Kinda proud of myself that I knew that's what it was right off the bat. Also it came from a spot that prior to today had no finds before the 70s so cool that I got that and a 45 wheat. There may be silver yet!

Definitely thought it was gold at first glance though!
