I have just acquired this hone from an antique dealer for whom I have a high regard. After some research I'm beginning to wonder if it might be one of the highly regarded Norton hones, i.e. the ones that go for high prices on you know where. If it is, I think I'm going to owe him some more money as he let me have it as part of a buy of 3 razors. It had come from an old barber's estate.

NB I know we don't do valuations here and I'm quite capable of finding a value when I know what I'm dealing with. So, just for the record, is this what I think it is?

The dimensions are: 5" long, 2" wide and 5/8" thick
