I never thought I would duplicate the luck of finding a W&B for under 40 dollars at an antique store....
Until I hit some shops in Warsaw MO this afternoon. Haw haw haw.

I saw some earlier threads with full hollow W&B's and I thought to myself, "Self, it sure would be neato to have a full hollow Wade and Butcher of my own".

I usually post pics of my acquisitions after I clean, polish, and hone em, but I couldn't wait to post some "before" shots.

I haven't decided if I want to take the patina off, and put a nice shine on her, or get rid of the small amount of rust on the spine and let her antique finish go.

At any rate, even after just washing it in soapy water, it catches arm hairs! It won't pop em, but I still thought that was pretty cool.
