Thread: Bought New Razors in Alaska Need some Info

Can you give me any information about these razors? I bought them in an estate sale in Alaska, they said they were turn of the century (1900s). One isn't stamped but it actually looks pretty nice. Any help would be welcome.

Here is the album I took of the razors:

Welcome to SRP, The first Wade & Butcher with the blue blade is toast, someone put to much heat on the blade. The razor without marking and the second Wade Butcher look really nice. Turn of the century seems pretty acurate give or take a few. Some good cleaning and honing would bring these blade usable to shave.

Yeah I was worried about the heat on the blade, I wonder what they were thinking when they did that... thanks for the info. I paid $150 for all five you think I got ripped off or not?
