Thread: Requested information: American Hone Co. "The World Hone"

I recently picked up what I beleive is a very unique item, but those of you who are much more knowledgable of these items may differ. Here is what it is:

• Round tin (screw top), leather banding.

Banding reads: "The World Hone"
(inside)

• Round, hand held Hone
• Small piece instruction paper
• Larger (oil/wax) instruction (pictorial) paper.

My limited research suggest that the American Hone Co. is or was a well respected honig company and the fact that this piece is so complete makes me think it is a great find and a very collectable / usable item.

Appreciate any comments, opinions on this item and a direction as to where I may find some more information (history) on it, although I feel this may be the place to find that.

Any replies truly appreciated.

Take care.
