Did Wahl Clippers Have Cadmium Plating in the 1970s?



Q. Does anyone know if cadmium plating was used to protect electric trimmer and razor blades in the 1970s?
More specifically Wahl clippers, but also curious about its use on clippers and/or razors at that time.

A. Hi Mr. Ook/Eed

There are over 200 vintage Wahl clippers, plus other Wahl products, and other vintage brands on eBay -- you could obtain a couple to test for the presence of cadmium. Thanks.
