I actually saw one before but can't remember who was maker or anything. Cool piece with the propeller on the cap
More info in case it helps. The razor is a hard plastic maybe bakelite. It has "Made in U.S.A. & "Pat Pend" on the bottom of the head. The logo appears to be an airplane propeller. The handle is black/white plastic or bakelite. Only paid $5.95 for it. Thought it would make a nice addition to my small collection.

That settles it then. It's a Contact Razor

Yep, that helped plenty. Now you're my hero. Looks like mine has a different handle than shown. Probably a replacement for a broken handle, considering the mismatched case. Its sorta like a Franken-Contact.
I took this Contact razor for a test drive yesterday. Its not bad, a bit more aggressive than I prefer but not terrible. I'm so used to the shave I get from RustBoy and my pre war British Tech that I think I'm spoiled. Still, it makes a nice addition to my collection. Plus I found it in the wild and that's always nice.
