Thanked: 0bought 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
