It looks like the fox hone... No such thing as a brown thuri... But I could be wrong... As long as it works well
Looks like you got all the mac and cheese off it :<0)
Yes it does look like a Fox hone, they were boxed very similar to your. The slurry looks like my Vosginne hone here. Do you have a photo with the slurry washed off?
It should be a good finisher post 8K, use a lite slurry and dilute to clear water.
Nice find.
I think you are guys right, on the opening side of the box it mentioned once Fox and some German descriptions calling for Wasser....Quote:

Mostly these stones were sold as Goldfisch Wetzstein/Fox Razor Hone...there were examples were the Fox Label was just glued over with the Goldfisch label here:

I got a other one which i guess is the same stone also sold under another label:

In my thinking ist more a dark red stone then a brown one...the question is if that stone was cleaned/lapped completely if not the colour could be more brownish probably as used with oil...Stone is also known as Pierre Lorraine Rouge/Rouge Du Salm more is explained at Henks Grinding and Honing Part 4, Pages 47/48...
As there was a thinking on the Vosges / Vosgesienne / Vosgienne stone more can be found on the french hones thread:

Lap with a fine grit plate I finish on a 1200 DMT and raise a light slurry and dilute with drops of water when the water is clear, then add 2-3 drops of Smith's Honing Solution a water soluable oil. Smith's will not stain or harm your stone.
It will give you a very slick feel on the stone. Do 15 - 20 laps on the Smiths for a very nice polished finished edge. I have shaved off the stone or stropped on Chrome Oxide or .50 CBN.
Well I will do it as you said, but I don`t have Chrome Oxide, I have never used.Quote:

Thank you all for your help.

I hope these pictures will help :-)
How about pixs without the slurry closeup?
No chrome Ox... then strop on linen then leather.
Proximus... Can you please put up detailled shots of each stone in detail, best when shot at daylight with surface, sides, wet and dry...this will be helpful
Here is best pictures I could do with my camera:Quote:

Hard to tell from the photos, but the long ones look possibly like Belgian Blue stones, especially from the slurry.
The square-ish one may be a Vosgienne/La Lune. The stria on them should be very different, the BBW a lot coarser and the feel on the stone will also be very different, the BBW a bit gritty and the Vosgienne much like a Coticule smooth.
All are nice stones. The trick with all these stone is working the slurry, you will have to experiment.
Surprisingly I find thin slurry is best, worked until it breaks down after 30-40 laps… then dilute it out with water drops at a time. Finish with a clear water wet stone and 2-3 drops of Smith’s Honing solution work until dry. Work the stone after an 8 or 12K edge.
This method works well for the BBW and Vosgienne for me, fun stones to tease out your skills and work the slurry to finely polish the bevel.
Left one i agree with Euclid440 it seems to be a BBW....
