Thread: Taylor Genuine Castle?

Anybody have any experience with Taylor Genuine Castle? Looking at purchasing a couple but have never heard of them so just wondering your guys take on the company. They're a wee rough, but sense they are wedges I should be able to restore them without wrecking them. If pics are needed I could track them down and post them. Makes me think of a usual Joseph Elliot wedge, or W&B etc. Round barber notched.

Very interesting read. So does she have the name wrong than? Because I didn't see anything, and can not find anything about "Genuine Castle "

Many related Taylors were cutlers and merchants. So, which one? Who knows from 1840 -WW!!

Well hopefully this deal goes through soon and they will be in my possession soon. Than I'll be able to further inspect and inquire. I'm looking forward to them. If all goes well look for a post in a couple weeks from now with pictures. Thanks for your time Geezer.

Figures this fell through. Been talking to her all week about purchasing them. Thursday I tell her, I have the money I can either e-transfer it or put it in pay pal and send it. She said okay great I just have to relay your information over to my friend who handles my shipping and payments. I say okay no problem. Saturday she texts me and says I have just sold the $20 Taylor and the $335 crown and sword (which was too expensive and I wasn't inquiring about.) I will put the other Taylor away for you and pass your contact info to my friend.

Whhhatttttt? Are you kidding me? I told her never mind. What shitty business. You mess up the deal on your end, and than sell it. Come on. And the guy bought the 20 dollar one because the $30 one has a chip out of the edge and possibly a crack near the barbers notch (may just be a rust line) but come on, what terrible service. Because you don't do your end on the transaction quick enough you sell it out from under me. Very disappointed and depressed over this whole situation. But here's a picture of them all she has. The bottom is the $20 'Taylor Genuine Castle' she calls them, next one up is the $30 and the one on the right is the $335 crown. And I may be wrong, but does it look like that Wade and Butcher may have been shortened just slightly?
