A wonderful nostalgic piece of mid-century personal grooming history. This vintage travel electric shaver assembly comes housed in its original zippered, fabric-lined carrying case. The set features a classic brown bakelite electric razor with its original power cord, paired with a distinctive deep-red enameled metal battery power box.

Designed for the traveler of the 1950s or 1960s, the red metal box features an integrated interior schematic for three 1.5V batteries, serving as a portable power pack when standard mains electricity was unavailable.

  • Material: Bakelite, enameled steel, fabric case.

  • Era: Circa 1950s – 1960s.

The red metal battery box retains strong color with minor paint flecks and light surface oxidation. The bakelite shaver casing is structurally intact. Internal battery contact springs show light patina. Sold as a collectible piece, untested for operational functionality.
