The problem we have is that there is no good single source of information where we can go and look it up.
The GEM Jr. "The Parade" with the baton handle was made in 1943. The Treet razor didn't become an American Safety Razor Corporation Inc. product until 1948, so parts sharing is unlikely.
The handles may have come from an outside vendor, I have no idea.
As I've said before I've never seen a blue one until the one that you now have, I wonder if it was an accident. They don't list black either, but there are plenty of those around.
Boar brushes, brass razors, and hard pucks ARE traditional wet shaving. Everything else is modern day fluff for the girly men.
