Thread: 1" Wade & Butcher eBay score

Congrats on your buy but what do you mean by "no restore marks" ?
It looks sanded & buffed to me.

Oz the resized photos for uploading don't do it justice in the slightest
the grind lines on the blade face and all faces for that matter look original with no resanding or rebuffing all edges are clean and crisp , little or no hone wear
If you could see the original you would agree I think
Cheers D

An original ebay photo of the tang, all have done is clean it by hand a little with autosol, the tail still has rust etc on it but the rest is mint

I guess if it didn't get the 'Sheffield Black Polish' at the factory there would be grind lines showing.

not sure on this, I will have to look into this magic substance you speak off now.
also as a newb could I PM you a better photo for judgement, so maybe you can confirm if it is as good as I think or just it is a good resto done some time ago that is throwing me off
cheers

Sure. Good pics are always a help

Oz Tried to PM the photos but couldn't work it out seem to only let me search for web pages not a photo from my folders??
for some reason

Yup that's how it is. You could email them or post them up here & get a few opinions.
I'm off for a couple of hours but will look in later.

,,,,actually if the scales are not broken & it was mine, I'd leave the name on it.

Researched the name the closest translations came up as follows:
14 Potel euni
Potel - Hotel
euni - short for Eunice or sexy
Eunice Louisiana is not far from Kentucky where I got it from
So either room 14 Hotel Eunice
or I Like to go with
Room 14 Hotel sexy
which makes think of a Gentleman's club in Eunice Louisiana
where it was the spare travellers shaver for the room
or someone left it there & couldn't go back for it for reason of discretion LOL
After a week of neatsfoot oil you can hardly see it anyway so I think can stay

That's great pick up for that kind of money, I have a beautiful set of black horn scales and some Bulls eye washers waiting for such a razor, but I'm not getting much luck looking for a big blade Wade & Butcher, don't get me wrong there are a shed load of them out there but most of them come with sky high prices and I'm not prepared to pay them.
