    Default 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! Going to try to post pics.

    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?
