Looks like the handle from a Star DE.

I agree.

Star razor handle, the head dont match though.

Star DE handle with a Gillette Old OC head.
Not correct match but an excellent combination.
I know I have a Frankenrazor exactly like it in my collection.
That Star handle is grippy and solid brass.

that is definitely a star razor handle...

Yep, no doubt it's a Star
I'd bet my Pils collection on it


(I have no idea what I'm talking about, just trying to sound cool)

It's a Star/PAL/Personna (American Safety Razor Company) from the 60s.

Here's the Brit version I won on ebay last week, no one else bid...

Are u going to use it?

 

[creamgravy]

Probably, it's just the aluminium version

I wonder if this is one of the first examples of a company giving away a free razor with blades? That crazy Philip Morris management team ended up trying everything else in that period! (Personna 74, face guard etc)
