She sold this very same hone a month or so ago for over $100 IIRC. Apparently the buyer sent it back. She sold a 10" coticule a few months ago for over $500. She has sold a few coticules and all with the same description,"This was my fathers finest combination hone for use in his barbershop. He had this one wrapped in a barber towel in his sanitizer cabinet with a note that this was not to be used by anyone but Gene as it was a natural Belgian and very expensive to replace!" As an old tattoo artist friend used to say, if you can't dazzle them with brilliance baffle them with B/S.
