    Default Old Toolbox find

    Today I found a few sharpening stones while going through an old toolbox. Here are some pics. If any look familiar to y'all please feel free to comment! #1 is black as coal and has 633 COLUMBIA E24 and possibly the letter "T" stamped on the back. #2 is double sided and has evidence of oil drops on the corse side. I made #3 wet to help show the fine surface and its burgundy color. It is very hard and heavy.

    The first one is hard to tell with that pic, but a close up of it's sides might help,,,the second is a dual grit Carborundum or Norton Crystolon (Norton's word for silicon carbide).
    The third,,I have no idea,,, it has a stamp showing in the photo, what is the stamp?

    Although it appears that way, there is no stamp on #3. I'll post some more shots in a few mins my friend.

    mhh....Nr. 1 & Nr. 2 i wouldnt use on razors....the third looks most interesting for me...it looks like a natural Hone in some kind....but the Stamped Numbers do not fit to a natural one...is there another stamp with black numbers on the side ?
    Could you post another picture of the lapped side with water ? (direct view to the stone without mirroring the background)

    I have a small norton that I use on tools and such that looks really close to #2. I don't even recall the grits off the top of my head, but I'll find out and let you know. If it's even the same stone...
    I love living in the past...

    The numbers are stamped on the back of the stone in picture#1, the small black one. The burgundy stone in pic#3 has no letters or numbers. It seems pretty fine. Definitely more fine than my 4k but not as fine as my 8k.

    Default Red mystery stone

    So I got this thing nice and flat today, took care of the edges and any chip or nick. I think it will work nice on razors. I'll need some time to determine its grit.
