W&B age

[JGKC9AYC]

I'm trying to figure out the approximate age of a W&B FBU.
There's no etching at all on the blade & the tang is simply stamped "Wade & Butcher For Barbers Use". No "Sheffield", no "Manufactured By".
Ideas?

Its should be pre 1892 but without a picture I can't tell you anymore. Even with a picture it is still not definite but based on some of the style cues of the blade you might be able to get a general time period.

Picture please, as above that will help us date it based on features of the blade itself

Do you have a full blade shot?

Based on what I can see, I'm guessing 1870ish

Maybe older with the bullseye washers.

The washers don't look as old as the rest of the razor... have you polished the scales at all?

My guess would be middle 1800's Great bevel and those scales have a lot of character.

Sweet pocket watches BTW.
