About what year is this meat cutter?
I picked this up in Palm Beach Florida in the early 90's and recall I used up my vacation money too...$75.00.
It's a Wade and Butcher, but the shank/tang is different than most meat cutters I've seen, and the inscription on the blade says 'The Union Must and Shall be Perserved' making it 'seem' to be Civil War era??? However that might not be so, but thought I'd see what any of you 'gurus' might think?
