    Default Another Confused seller

    Think this Wade & Butcher is rare?It has to be.This guy says so 10 times in his description.It's also a Wedgewood grind,and the scales are made out of pressed bone and also pressed horn.Did I mention it's rare?

    I thought you were better than these sleazy antics, Alan. This RARE bone horn wedgewood rare razor is MINE. Don't try to talk me out of bidding on this RARE wedgewood rare razor. It's Rare. And has the elusive wedgwood grind. I bid one million dollars. It is Rare, after all.

    Remember, kids, believe EVERYTHING that you read on the internet.

    That's OK Leon, I will forfeit my rights to further bids to you. All I ask for in exchange is one of those totally NOT rare NOS plain-Jane Fillys you have. Then we'll be even.......right??

    I believe I actually know this guy...and he is well...ummmmm.... a "rare" breed.

    Wish I was brave enough to ask $99.00 for one of my 2 dozen or so Wade & Butchers...even in better condition... how about I put one up for my normal $4.99 starting price?!?! But I need to remember to mention how rare it is...i mean... they are so RARE that ONLY have 2 dozen or so...

    From my limited experience, and I am sure you guys have a lot more...its not so much that Wade & Butchers are rare. In fact, I see quite a few. I believe it is rare to find one that is in really good condition.

    What is up with antique dealers thinking that just because they have something from the 1800s, that it means that it is rare? Or am I missing something???

    What is the handle anyway?

    Is it horn-bones... the bones that support the horns? That IS rare!
