    Default bought a Wade and Butcher-Special. Info?

    I was in an antique store the other day and found an old straight razor for 15$ It's a Wade and Butcher so I figured it couldn't hurt to pick it up. It's not in the greatest shape (some rust, etc.) but it's not dead so I will be sending it off to be honed/restored soon. Anyways, the guy didn't have much information on it. Any help figuring out when it might have been made etc. would be sweet. Figure, probably 1920-30's.

    -Wade and Butcher
    -Blade has a circled "B", the word "special" with an arrow going through it, and a cross.
    -Tang is marked like so:
    "Wade and Butcher
    Sheffield, England
    B >>>----> +" (circled "B" then arrow then cross)
    -Honed out toe
    -middle of the blade measures about 4/8
    -Spike point

    I will try and get pictures
