Thread: Does Anyone Know If These are Brass Hones??

Was in Hobart, Tasmania a month ago looking for razors at this antique store where the owner had recently purchased deceased estate goods from a barbershop.
Found a couple of razors for my beginners collection and was shown this (below) brass items inwhich the owner had no idea what function they performed. He was keen to get my opinion, however I had to point out (after I had purchased 4 x razors) that I only own 1 razor and was not the best person to ask.
The brass "hones" as we called them were close to 8kgs and were not perfectly curved but pretty close.

I am not associated to the owner in any way or form but thought that I would share this with the intentions of finding an answer for all.
I don't know how to make a link, so here is the address.
