I tried to upload pictures with no luck so I'm including a link to imgur. imgur.com/a/Go52oI picked this little guy up at an antique store recently because it was so beautiful and obviously a piece of art. What a pleasant surprise that it provides a fantastic shave also! It is far smoother than my Gem Micromatics. I'm dating this at 1907 or 1908. Can anyone else help me to pin it down?

Welcome to the forums mac! The Gem Junior Bar is one of the best single edge razors ever created. I have a set just like yours. This is my favorite SE razor even more then my Damaskeene OC (blasphemy) and I am certain that you will love it. Install your favorite single edge blade and enjoy it! The Gem Junior Bar might be small and light but don't let it's attributes fool you it's one excellent performer. Oh, about posting pictures: theoriginalsafetytoo.proboards.com/thread/1433/pictures-fuzzy

What a phenomenally gorgeous razor! I agree it's a work of art, but I think that of all lather catchers.
Welcome to the forum!

Thanks all. I've been lurking for a little while, but decided it was time to contribute.

Hello and welcome.
That is a beautiful GEM you have. They are one of my favourites and it is always great to see one.
You are close enough with the date although they were manufactured and sold for a few more years. I would say you can consider it being around 07/08 because it very well could be an early one.
Very nice. Good to see you out of lurker status!
