Wade & Butcher Question

[Nadir M]

Anyone know what kind of Wade & Butcher this is? What's it worth if it's shave ready? I don't use straights and I'm looking to post this in the BST soon. I would like some feedback so I can be fair and informed when I sell this. Thanks in advance.

a better shot of the blade and tang stamp would be helpful. The other thing is that if you normally don't use straights maybe there is a reason you have it now.. time to try something new

Can you clarify what you mean when you say "what kind of Wade and Butcher"?

I'll have to take some better pictures. I know what you mean, but that razor does nothing for me.

I guess I meant the width/grind and anything else I'd need to know.

It's hard to tell from the pics but it looks a decent size blade. Anywhere from 6/8 to 15/16 would be my guess.

I doesn't look like a wedge.

Here are a couple more pictures. Thanks for the help.​

I had one that looked almost exactly like that one. It was a 7/8, 1/4 hollow ground blade. It was one of the best blades I ever shaved with.

Could someone help determine the value of it?

Can you measure the distance between the spine and edge? That will tell you the width.
Can you take a frontal photo of the blade? That will tell you the grind. If it's a perfect V then it's a wedge, if it's narrower than that, it depends of the hollowness, but no W&B is a true full hollow, they're quarter or half hollows.
