Any info on a Wade&Butcher with this stamp
Hello
I have come across a Wade and Butcher razor with a marking that is not included in the wiki. As I am new to W&B I would love some more info on this razor.
The marking is on the tang and says "Manufactured by Wade and Butcher, Sheffield, England" and has the "B - arrow - cross" symbol underneath.
First of all I would like to know if this a genuine W&B and if so I would also like to know if anyone has an idea of how old it might be.
i have attached a picture of the tang to aid in the identification. Any help is appreciated.

How can you tell the difference between celluloid and bakelite?

That early union cutlery from Georgia that I have has bakelite scales I believe. The they're definitely stiffer than any of the ones I have that I'm certain are celluloid. I've never known how to tell the difference for certain.
