    Without a pic this post is useless
    With a pic we are going to tell you if we feel it can be made to shave
    Value is HIGHLY subjective so we have all agreed to just avoid it altogether

    We'd love to see pictures of it. It's hard to say much about it's condition without seeing it. As Glen mentioned we don't do valuations here for various reasons but we can guide you as to its condition once we see it.

    I can tell you it was made in Sheffield between 1818 and the 1850s. The Wade mentioned is Richard a brother of Robert Wade of Wade & Butcher fame.

    Find more information hefe as a start:
