Wade & Butcher Year?

I have searched and could not find the answer, so I figured I would ask you guys and have an answer in like 1 minute.
Any idea what year (or range of years) this razor is?

THANKS!

Pre 1890's because there is no ENGLAND stamped on it?

Yeah, it's worth maybe $10,000. The one in the first two pictures I mean. That other one somebody polished is worth maybe $20.00 because it is no longer 'original' ......... :rofl2:

Couldn't resist ..... it is before 1891. No clue how long before. Nice job on the cleanup.

Oh man! :gaah:
I knew I should have not polished it up! :banghead:

I cleaned it up real fast.
Just saw a different way of cleaning up blades I might give a try.
This is about where I would have to be in the first place, so no time wasted at least!

I will be the only bold enough to answer... Late 1850's to early 70's. I have my reasons but am lazy on typing on my phone at this moment.

Damn, you did a damn good job on the restore... Congrats.

And yeah, from my research, pre-1890 because of the lack of "England" on the tang. I have one that doesn't say England on it and love it. Whenever I see them on the 'bay, I keep on scrolling when I see "England" on one. I dunno why, but the post-1890 ones just don't seem as desirable to me, and judging from the prices I see on both, others agree!

Also, congrats on getting a barber's notch one... I have a W&B barber's notch on the way and can't wait to get my hands on it! Yes, it'll be my second W&B, and yes, it does not say "England" on it. ;)
