Just got this one in a bulk razor lot pics are pre clean and polishing.
An Ever-Ready I have not seen before.

- Start date
Looks the same as this one on the top right, except yours has a normal pat 1912 handle (possibly a mismatch on yours)
edit: or maybe not, I've seen that handle also on that type head as well.

piece!
1924 Ever-Ready, that is the most common handle, though I have seen them with the "art deco" handle used on the 1912. There is also a travel version with a short handle. 
And the smoother (same handle no grip lathed on) chrome handle on mine.
edit: I thought it was a 1924 too, but guido says in the b&b link I posted it's a 1925?

So that is an ever-ready handle? I just picked up a Star DE (tech-style head) with that handle. Was thinking of trying it with an old-style Gillette head I have, but after putting a blade in it I think the old-style is more aggressive than I'm ready for.
yes it is (and also for gems).
I believe I have that exact same model.
Small world.

Every reference I have seen has this design as a 1925 in the Ever-Ready. Here, on the other hand, is a 1930 Star De Luxe with the same design.
I have a copy of the patent from April 1,1924. #1,488,907.
Please, no jokes about Apr.1
Possibly they started manufacture before 1924 as the patent was applied for in 1922.

the production of the razor started in 1924. on the other hand, certain sets can be dated to following years.
