Any Freemasons around?

I've had this Wade & Butcher for a while, and while I've found some information on it (pre-1890), I don't know much about the Masonic symbols or how the design might help date this razor:

the designs are only on one side. The scales are two different colors, and I wonder if one is horn and the other one wood:


The lack of "England" tells me this is pre-1890.

What other info can y'all tell me about this thing? Would the pins help to date it?

 

Cannot connect to the Mason's here, but; nice Chopper!

 

I've seen them pop up on Ebay from time to time, and not just by Wade & Butcher.

 

Now that is fascinating! I hope someone here speaks Masonic.

 

Those that know won't say... And those that say probably don't know....

That's pretty sweet find! I'm interested to see if anyone can decode it haha

So true!

 

Mozart was a Free Mason and I have sung many of his operas, does that count?

 

I have Seen Loads & Loads of Masonic Decorated SRs from Many Razor Companies..

Billy..

 

I don't need to decipher what the symbols mean. I only need to know if certain symbols or the art style came about at a certain time to help me narrow down when it was made.

<looking for a CT Sponsor to the brothrhiid of Masons.

 

We used to have an active member who was a Mason but he hasn't been on the forum in several months.

Maybe a visit to your local lodge?

 

Freemason symbols defined

 

We could tell you, but....

 

From what I can gather, "Don't call us. We'll call you."


No, I'm not a Mason.

 

Visit your local lodge and talk to a mason.

I can't tell you what the masonic symbols means on the straight razor, because I'm breaking my masonic obligation sorry I can't help you

 

Visiting my local Lodge.........I've tried that. I never find them open!

 

Aaaaaah well @Steve C that because a Mason can't tell you when they're open unless your a Freemason ............. to be able to tell you the time.
