Beautiful!!!
I haven't looked them up, but the patents probably have nothing to do with the razor.
Mine is an oddball with an internal spring tab to push the blade forward, yours, and all the others I've seen have that swing arm thing with the lever on the back. Who knows why they reverted back to the old lather catcher head, unless there were clogging issues with the flat solid bottom ones.
Yours was made for military sets for WW1, mine supposedly wasn't available until 1917, then in 1919 Gem & Ever-Ready merged with Star to become the American Safety Razor Corporation.
