Came in a box that was late 1800s given the style of some of the nails and pins in there to keep it intact. Box had to go through as it was caked in oil and what appeared to be ancient pine tar. It had me heaving, even after I blasted it with some really strong stuff to tame it. Stone is 5x2x1". I'm out of sandpaper so lapping has to wait for now. Has a band going across the top. Prominent saw marks on one side.
