Vintage Eschers - Who?
Right, who was it? Which of you can we congratulate? (on the hones that is, or condole on the new state of your wallet)
USD 147,50 for about 13 square inch of rock
USD 164,49 for about 10 square inch of rock...

Wasn't me! I was eying both but really don't need them and also don't have any extra money at the moment.
Not bad deals, though, for labeled eschers.

Had them on watch but only for curiosity.
They are rather small.

Hi, I think most Escher's were in the 7x1 area, or 5x1 in the little box. I have two that are just about 7x1 1/2 or so. They went for a real good price. I've seen Eshcer's go for 450 usd and not on Ebay. Howard had one for sale for 450.00 We had a member here asking 600.00 usd for one that 10x2, just for a little bit of rock. Since Escher is basically extinct, they are considered rare, I thought those were a steal at 140 bucks. I thought the small one, went for 160 which doesn't make sense to me...?
We have assumed control !

When people talk of green Eschers, or yellow-green Eshers, etc., are they talking about the label colour?

They are suppose to be talking about the color of the stone. If you do a search on eschers here there is a thread that has a picture of about every escher color ever mined.

I have a little 5x1 one like that one that I got off the bay. It's a slightly different label and it's a "The Celebrated Water Razor Hone". I'll post a pic of it. Those small vintage thuringians/eschers are great little stones
