Thread: W&B "M. B. Wade's Extra Hollow Ground"

Interesting Etch I've not seen before. I'm curious who the M. B. Wade refers to.........

I don't know who it is but I make that out to be H B Wadr's. Really hard to read that old fancy script. Hope someone has an answer for you.

I can certainly see that in the pics, though definitely looks like a Gothic "M" up close. Looks like three distinct legs (not just stylizing) though the far left one is more faint, and the cross member bisects the middle leg, doesn't go between the two legs on the right. Now you have me second guessing my eyes :-)
looks like a cross between these two Gothic "M's"

You know my answer Morgan.

I think it's a hardware store or drug store, and out of coincidence the store name is Wade's.

Looks like " M. B. Wade's" to me! Nice razor!
Stay Sharp!

May well be, I would still love info on the hardware store if that be the case though I cannot find any using my own lackluster detective skills

I don’t see a B
M D Wade’s

Definitely a "B", curves in at the middle on the right. I'll see if I can get a better pic tomorrow.

Same here. I think it is closer to this style as far as strokes go. One curved line making the spine and one straight thin vertical line in the body of the D.

It is "M. B." Hopefully this pic shows it more clearly. I apologize for the lackluster pics
