I remember them when I was quite younger then I just saw one or two on the bay. I'm sure they a pocket stones for barbers just don't know.

The concave side is used to sharpen safety razor blades.

If you have seen a photo of one on the net, then post it here for us to see, it's not clear exactly what type of hone you are refering to.
It's probably a safety razor blade hone as Martin said.
