    Default Rare Escher Norton

    This listing is comical. The title for this barber hone is "RARE ESCHER NORTON BARBER RAZOR SHARPENING STONE HONE" and yet in the text the seller states "not sure of the brand."

    eBay sellers annoy me.

    may be he meant etched, not escher?
    but I am as puzzled for the description as you.

    he's just trying to get search hits. The more things you put in your title that might get hit, means the greater chance of selling it.

    I once scored a great Escher on the bay at a more reasonable price because the seller typoed the name. He listed it as an Eshcen.
    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

    Hmmm... Right, that makes sense.
    The seller might want to increase his chances by changing the title to something like this:

    ""RARE ESCHER NORTON FILARMONICA WADE BUTCHER DUBL DUCK MASTRO LIVI IWASAKI DAMASCUS BARBER 8/8 RAZOR SHARPENING STONE HONE""

    How about that?
