My guess on the handle material is a type celluloid. Even some of the higher end knife makers used Celluloid when it first came out. Like today's fiber reinforced handles, there is good quality celluloid and bad quality celluloid. Afterall, Celluloid by a different name is a phenolic resin!

looks like an end of day pattern, made occasionally by the workers, not a handle marketed?....looks like a linoleum flooring doesn't it ....
Jan Carter said:Although a good number of us inspected this razor, no one recognized the handle material. The one thing we all agreed upon is that it does not appear to have been re-handled. It all appears to be original. Any ideas?

"The photos in the previous post are of an old German pruning type knife I just aquired. It surely is interesting, and quite old."
