    Default Tally HO and a Wade & Butcher

    Hi everyone, just picked up a couple of razors, don't have any info on them besides what they are, any help would be greatly appreciated. One is a Tally HO, 14/16 or 15/16, not sure, big blade for sure though. and the other is a Wade & Butcher 13/16. The Tally has some etching on the blade that is fairly faint, not sure if worn with age or somebody sanded it, can be faintly seen in pic 4, says New York Crystal at the top, can't make out the rest and under it is a building like a state capitol or something.

    Your Tally Ho would have something like this upon it. http://straightrazorpalace.com/show-...ons-razor.html
    There is a link to the exhibition in the OP.

    I rest my case.

    You are correct, thank you. The Tally has New York Crystal Palace on it with an etching of the building.

    I think I have shown this one long ago but at first I thought Tom was referring to this one. I still need either some old scales for it or to make some new ones. It says, "In For the Prize At The Exhibition 1853" along with the fox &"Tally Ho".

    Nice, looks like the blade is about the same size as mine. At least the etching is highly visible and looks great.

    Nice, so, are they just collectible or are they actually of any value? Not asking for a price, just if they are worth anything other than as just to collect. Also, update on the Wade & Butcher. Followed a video on youtube from Maggard Razors (Undream on here, thanks Brad, great video.) on how to remove a chip from the blade and it worked like a dream, faster than I would have thought too. You can see the before pic in the original post, first pic, here is after removing the chip, and this is one HEAVY blade.

    The only value would be in collecting and/or shaving. As collectibles, condition is poor. As shavers, again poor. They can be made to shave and look good with some certainty, but will never be what they once were as collectibles. For instance, the etch will not ever come back. JMO

    Make sure you use tape on the W&B when you hone - taking off that amount has changed the geometry and you are likely to end up with a wide bevel - the tape will help to minimise it.
    My service is good, fast and cheap. Select any two and discount the third.

    Thank you, and I always use tape when I hone. I just started not to long ago and don't want to screw up right out of the box so to speak, lol. Name:  Taped Butcher.jpg
