Came across a couple goodies in rough shape. W&B and a Henckels. The scales on the Henckels are completely trashed, but hopefully the blade will clean up okay. I'm going to try to salvage the scales on the W&B. Close to half the maker's mark on the W&B isn't visible, it just reads:
"BUTCHER
EFFIELD
--> *"
However, the blade seems in pretty good shape, mostly just patina with a bit of pitting near the spine of the blade and some very minor scratches. Hopefully it cleans up nicely and the scales can be saved.
