I received this Wade & Butcher wedge from my in-laws and need some help dating it. M-I-L said it had been in her family for some time. She remembers her grandfather using it. The homemade handle doesn't work very well and I offered to make scales for it, but she opted to keep it as is for sentimental reasons. I understood, although it would make a great shaver.
After searching though many previous W&B posts looking at dates and markings I did not come across any blades with similar stamping. Google didn't help much either. Note, there are no markings on the reverse.
