Ever heard of a "Raven" hone?

I picked this up for a song and was wondering if any of you guys had ever had any experience with one or heard anything about it.

Here's a nice blurry pic for you:

I've seen em around, but haven't used one mesself. Lap it, test it, and post results!

This hone was sold by the Sears catalog around 100 years ago.

Seen 'em. Never used 'em. Looks like yet another Swaty clone.

have it and used ok hone.need to lapfirst then use leather for better result

That looks very interesting indeed. I wonder if Poe used one of those? And if he did, I wonder once he used it how often afterwards he needed to touch up? Nevermore would be my guess. :p

And the raven, never flitting, still is sitting, still is sitting
On the pallid bust of Pallas just above my chamber door;
And his eyes have all the seeming of a demon's that is dreaming,
And the lamp-light o'er him streaming throws his shadow on the floor;
And my soul from out that shadow that lies floating on the floor
Shall be lifted - nevermore!

He knows his hones, I'm not surprised he has one. Seems like he has one of EVERYTHING. :D
