RARE VINTAGE CATTARAUGUS RAZOR HONE STONE 2 SIDED + BOX - eBay (item 300283736485 end time Jan-05-09 17:05:34 PST)

good deal or not?

Well, I guess it's worth what someone is willing to pay. I suppose it's value is based on it's rarity and it's appeal to collectors. That said, it's an interesting barber hone that I don't have, but it's about $80 more than I would have been willing to spend on it. Obviously you and at least one other bidder thought it was worth more!

I moved this to the auction talk forum where it will get more responses...
Thank you..

Also IMHO this was a little high for this hone but it is always in the eye of the collector...This is basically a NOS hone so to a Catty collector it is very desirable...
I want to say that mine is the same but I can't remember if it has the #8 on it I'll check when I get home...

i was GOING to bid but didn't get to the pc in time.... i would have bid no more than 40 +/- bux though. somebody definitely wanted that hone!

Yeah, that is a case of one man's trash being another man's treasure. Two collectors drove that one and the guy who got it is probably glad and the guy who didn't wishing he had bid a few $ more. The seller is happy as a pig in mud.

I double checked mine is the 2 sided Catty hone but does not have the #8 on there...
I wanna say I paid $18 for it IIRC

First off are you looking for that Catty hone in particular??? (no mine is not for sale) or are you just looking for a barbers hone???

Good deal only for the seller, or the person who just has to have a cattarageous hone!
I also own one and paid maybe 20 dollars!

Mines a No#8 also but different box! The box also states No# 8
here is what I got:

Another one is up for sale on ebay right now with a BIN of $100 and free shipping.

I guess I have a fortune in hones!
