In from the Wild
Today was a very nice day. I went to one garage sale. There was another Geezer there and i asked if he had any hones for sale. He looked in his tool box and asked if I wanted this one.
Since it looked to be unused, it did take me a few minutes to decide.................

Of course you walked away from the ugly thing and left it for some other sucker to get stuck with! LOL

Awesome score!
They don't come any better than that, in the wild!!!
What are the measurements?
Interesting - yours has a green box, I've seen them in blue and yellow boxes as well......I assume that's how you tell these beasts apart then!?!

Nice score!! I'd pass out if I found one like that in the wild. I go to flea markets and antique stores all the time and usually all I see are carbos, b-hones and a soft ark here or there. The only good stone I've ever found was an 8" coti (my first coti actually) but at the time I didn't realize what a score it was.

First boxed set i have found so I do not know for sure if the box color is significant. My son traded for a yellow boxed one which is a Y/G Originally Posted by Phrank

This is a different size than my other similar label less ones which are 2½" x 4 7/8ths which seemed to be one standard for Coticules and Thuringians..
These are
2 5/8ths" x 4 7/8ths"
And, yes I have been to hundreds of garage sales with 0 luck.
