Check this one out. Seller is offering 17 hones in one sale, including what looks like two really nice sized Eschers! Most of the others look like relatively low-priced barber hones, but I don't know for sure because I don't really collect them. Anyway, the guy has a reserve price set, so who knows if there will be any bidding on this to make it worth watching. Here's the photo and link:

Oooh, there's a scythe hone in there. I need another one of those!:D

So, does this mean given there are 2 Eschers the reserve is near or above $700? I really dislike not knowing the reserve in eBay auctions. Sheesh.
I can't possibly be a better scyther, but my Carborundum 198 scythe hone won't last forever so I need a backup!Quote:

Well, well, well... it's at $440 and the reserve has been met. Let the war begin!
Still a decent price for two pretty large Eschers . . . or is it THREE? Take a closer look at #14 in the lot. It looks like it's got the remains of a label stuck to the bottom, although of course you can't read anything from the photograph. Anyway, good luck to the bidders on this one!
