    Looks like oxidized Bakelite, Vulcanite etc:
    Smell is the real clue...

    Some of those can be brought back to life, but it is usually more work then making new ones

    I have never really had them come out great, unless they were off the razor... You also have to have the right sandpaper (micromesh) to make them really shine again after the cleaning grits, then some polish after that ...

    Keep in mind I am only speaking from what I see and experience with these types..If they were in my hands I might very well speak differently...
