Anybody know about.....

W. Butcher cast steel stuff? I have collected several pieces over the years. Chisels, gouges, turning tools, and a tennon saw.
I just can't find any info on Butcher or the relative values of the tools.
They are quite nice, and I find them to be a pleasure to use.

I have a couple blades and chipbreakers from Butcher, I see their blades on transitional planes a lot. Other than that don't know much.

This seems to have a little history on Samuel and William Butcher.
