Thread: My coticules and thuringians collection

Hi folks,

two more "new" vintage coticules that have found their way into my collection:

1) a massive natural combination bout (14 x 5,7 x 3,3 cm; weighing 840 g):











2) Another combo stone, this time a bench stone with the measurements 17,8 x 4,2 x 1,8 cm (which is a very common size for coticules sold in France):

Dry:




Wet:


Both show nice manganese lines (no cracks!), which I find quite beautiful.

Hope you like 'em.

Cheers
Jörg

Cool, I have a very similar natural combo to the one above...

That's a beauty - especially the curvy line between the two layers !

@jollo-That bout on top is a beauty! How hard is it?

Thanks ! It is a very hard stone and interestingly very fast as well which is in my experience is a rare combination for coticules. It does not autoslurry but very quickly turns dark from the removed steel.

I have an 8" X 2" just like that - really love that stone.

HAD strikes again - this time on the thuringian front.

Please see below some pictures of my latest acquisition, a huge 9x2" Escher & Co "Rasierstube" in fantastic condition:

Hi ! From the first post, the last "coticule" isn't one. It's an italian stone from the area of Sienne

Very Nice finishing stone indeed.

Also here to spread the information! A wonderful time witness in concerns of history between the relation from Solingen to the Region around Sonneberg...

CJH stands for Carl Julius Herbertz, Solingen...

A very nice example!!

I only have one very nice boxed example
