Grew up eating this. Loved it! They sold to the makers of Nellie's.
Now it is no longer being made. Wait! Here is the recipe!
1/2 cup good quality mayonnaise
2 tablespoons horseradish sauce
2 teaspoons good quality ketchup
1/4 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon dried oregano
Dash black pepper
Dash cayenne pepper
Combine all of the ingredients and refrigerate.

NOTES:
From Chris:
The old style sauce you are referring to was produced by Seneca Foods under the name Aunt Nellie's and Shedd's. It's been described as having a mayonnaise-horseradish-mustard flavor. It was used as a condiment and in recipes such as potato salad and deviled eggs as the "secret" ingredient. Unfortunately, a consumer affairs representative for Seneca Foods said the sauce was discontinued June 1, 2007. Their warehouses do not have any left and the recipe cannot be handed out. Sun Spots did locate a "copycat" recipe for Shedd's Sauce that we thought you'd be interested in trying, from "Uncle Phaedrus, Consulting Detective and Finder of Lost Recipes." Ingredients: 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons horseradish sauce, 2 teaspoons ketchup, 1/4 teaspoon paprika, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/8 teaspoon dried oregano, dash black pepper, dash cayenne pepper. Combine all of the ingredients and refrigerate. From the SunJournal.com

Birdy-From what I can see, the ingredients up through the salt appear to be those for mayo.
Looked up Woebers sauce ingredients: Soybean Oil, Water, Corn Syrup, Vinegar, Egg Yolks, Modified Corn Starch, Horseradish, Salt, Artificial Flavoring, Potassium
Sorbate ( a preservative), Xanthan Gum, Calcium Disodium EDTA added to protect flavor. The real stuff in there is almost the same. Both, however, mention the elusive "artificial flavoring" or "spice", both of which are wild cards. From the color of the sauce, something is turning it pink, which could be paprika but the original recipe doesn't mention it. Ketchup is on the sweet side so that could be adding the sweet for the missing sugar plus modifying the color a bit.
Since Chris seems to be the only one here who has tasted this, I vote we let her make a batch and decide if it's close to the original! This is a good way to kill a cold Sunday afternoon!
