Mystery Gillette wall mount looking for info.

Does anyone have information on what this Gillette wall mount might be / age, possible razor holder?

ossible razor holder?
 
Maybe a smallmug / water dish in the larger hole? This one is a real stumper, I can't find a thing anywhere on this one.
 
The big openings are on top, so my guess is an astray of some sort. Or rather a holder for one (with some advertisement on). I would guess that there was a metal insert that held the ashes that could be swapped out as it filled up.
 
It may be possible it is for toothbrushes. Note the dimpled portion on what would be the bottom with holes in it for water to drain off. Razor sits in the big hole in the middle but I would not want to be pulling it out each morning. The large hole is a mystery. What if it is for toothpaste?

Maybe it was for 45th Parallel Aftershave?
 
Notice the side flaps when viewed from the bottom. Are they there to allow the box to slide onto a bracket?

I don't think it would be a personal use item, it screams advertisement do-dad. I'm thinking perhaps a public washroom ashtray.

Rebooting this thread to see if any further information is available?

I searched Gillette patents hoping to find something (it says patent was applied for) but no luck.

I plan to coat with a layer of clear poly to protect and hang in the bathroom as a toothbrush holder.

NOTE: Seller said someone suggested some association with a double ring razor but no further explanation. They also said they believed it was removed from a hotel/boarding house in the 70's.
