    Default T. Noonan & Co. "Modock Hone"

    Snagged this on ebay yesterday, looks to be a natural stone but unsure, heres the info from the auction + pictures....cant find any info though anywhere. Figured it was worth the 42ish bucks I payed to take a chance though.

    Box marked: MODOCK HONE; This Hone is without doubt the finest Hone ever offered to the public. Imported exclusively by T. NOONAN & COMPANY 38 PORTLAND ST., BOSTON; DIRECTIONS: Wet the Hone with water and then run well with the rubber before starting to hone each razor. DON'T USE SOAP OR OIL.

    Measurements: 2 3/8" x 7" sharpening surface. Heavy brass base--1 pound 10 ounces

    Anyone have any info?

    Sadly the slurry stone is gone but no biggie! Cant wait to recieve it and see what I bought...

    On the first picture it seems to look like a natural, probably a thuringian, it says a brass base...

    I think the package does not fit to the stone ...could be though the rubber is missing....but keep us updated on this one....

    Im pretty sure its because the slurry stone is missing, was my first thought as well till I read the info from the box and it mentioned the "rubber" pretty reputable razor company so I figured if they were in the business of importing thuringians then itd possibly be a nice high quality stone....plus the stone size seemed great.

    Since T. Noonan & Co was a barbers supply co, importing German razors with their name it is highly probable that this Modock Hone could be a Thuringian. Thin hone,on a brass base.

    Thats what I am banking on, figured for 42 bucks it was worth the gamble, and looked thuringian. Bout to buy a couple thuringians of different colors in the next week so should be set on finishers soonish. Need to get some intermediate stones though, might order a 4/8k norton combo today as well

    When you see a vintage natural stone with a description that says "don't use oil" or something similar, it's probably a Thuringian. And the slurry stone was used on Thuringians and coticules mostly. I'm pretty sure your stone is a Thuringian.
