Phrank...yep that is essentially the same blade. W&B made that model with lots of different etches and some even engraved, which I believe yours is. The model was so popular apparently, that Wostenholm and Joseph Allen even marketed exact copies of these little 'wedges'. Although with different graphics obviously. I have examples of all three manufacturers...in fact I am working (albeit slowly... LOL!) on a matching 3 razor set with essentially the same but slightly different etch from all three of these producers.

This one that I restored did not have an etch...although it might have at some time, but I doubt it. I think it was just plain to begin with...
