Jimmy,
I do not recall if there were any markings on the inside lid. There is gold printing on the top though, although nothing that says Wade & Butcher.

As per the case looking original, I would...

Ok, so I stopped by the shop this morning on my way into work and took some notes on the W&B set... A note on the handle says "Circa 1850" So, I'm guessing set is from the mid 1800's

Handle:...

I'll have to go and look, and take some notes.

That link worked Jimmy!

Nice set, same style as the W&B set also.

Maybe if I have some extra cash, and a dedicated buyer, I could go buy the set and get some pics up for you all to see.

I qutie agree :D

But I dont have the cash to buy it, so not much I can do there, lol. Also, the set is marked at $625

BTW: That ebay link is dead.

Pretty sure they were wedgy, around 1/4 ground, but I may be wrong.

I'll have to call Betty or stop by and find out for sure.

Well! Looks like we are in luck. I managed to find a similar set, that has the exact same design as the W&B set, just a different brand/make.

This set is different only in appearance. It has a...

I'll do that! Maybe I can find a similar set so you can see what it is like.

:D The buyer may be feeling remorse, but its going in the mail today, so looks like hes over it, lol.

I have spoken with the owner of the shop, and she is reluctant to allow me to post photos of any of the items. I agree that it is kinda dumb, but its her shop and she can run it however she wishes......

Aight folks, looks like you are in for a treat!

A fellow member with whom I have dealt with before decided that he would like to purchase the set, so we worked it out and its going off to a good...

Yah, I agree but oh well.

I suppose your right about the store number. Maybe they'll appreciate the business :D

No, They do not have a website.

Hi guys,
Some bad news, unfortunately...

I spoke with the owner of the shop yesterday, and she will not allow me to take pictures of the items for legal reasons. Apparently people in the past...

Pics will come soon! I hope to get pics by this Saturday for your viewing pleasure.

I thought so also, but then I saw that they are "For Barbers Use" and cased. IMO, they are reasonable.

Pics and prices will come next weekend.

IIRC, the Rodgers set was in the $400's

That set is $625. Definitely worth it, IMO.

Ok, so my local antique store has some real treasures. And I mean REAL. I only wish I was a collector! (It almost makes me want to become one)

There is this older gentleman who has some excellent...
