well done, you just hit the jackpot.!!
That is indeed an Aristocrat and a Lady Gillette. And at a great price! I payed about that much for my Aristocrat on its own.
You can narrow down what year your Aristrocrat is by the date code or if it doesn't have them whether the center bar has the "notches" in it or not.

Great score Jeff. This may help you on the Aristocrat. http://wiki.badgerandblade.com/index.php/Gillette_Aristocrat It must be a good day for Ebay. I got some good deals as well. http://badgerandblade.com/vb/showthread.php?t=177872.
Congrats my man,
Congrats my man,
Looks like you done good!!
That is a very nice Aristocrat and at a very good price as well.. excellent find.
check for a date code and if you do not find one then have a look at the center bar. If it does not have any notches then it is probably a 1946 or possible a 1947 as it seems Gillette often used leftover parts from previous years in his new model year razors.
The fact that you have knurling above the top ring and none on the top part of the TTO knob would suggest 1947. Anything after that would most likely have knurling in both places.
BTW the Aristocrats are awesome shavers with the right blades in them
