Please help with a date

I have been looking all day for an approximate year of my husbands straight razor, and then I found you guys. I am hoping someone can help us. The Box says "Wade & Butcher Sheffield" and the only markings on the blade is "Manhattan Cutlery Co Sheffield" Thanks in advance for any help offered! :Dhttp://straightrazorpalace.com/%5BIM....jpg%5B/IMG%5Dhttp://straightrazorpalace.com/%5BIM....jpg%5B/IMG%5Dhttp://straightrazorpalace.com/%5BIM....jpg%5B/IMG%5D Going to try to post pics. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v5...83/srazor1.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v5...83/srazor2.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v5...83/srazor3.jpg

Nice looking razor. I'm sure someone here can give an idea of how old it is, and whether the razor matches the box.

P.S. I nominate this thread for most misleading subject line of the year. A (real) woman asking for help with a date on the Internet? What was I thinking? :)

early 19 th centry

Haha, sorry should have been more specific. :gaah:
