Thread: What can you tell me about this Wade & Butcher?

Sorry for the poor quality photo; I took it with my cell phone last night and it looked OK on the little screen.

My friend lives in a house that's an old farm house that has been in his family for generations; while remodeling the bathroom he found this straight razor, in the box, between the walls!

He has no idea which of his relatives it belonged to, or how old it is.



The blade says Wade & Butcher/Sheffield (of course).

Anyone know any specifics about this particular blade?
