    Nice stone Chopper Dave,

    I've watched the auction.
    These hones were sold by the thuringian company Habermann. The family and name Habermann was a very well known name among the thuringian whetstone companies.
    They rented several thuringian quarries from the mid 19ths century till the early 20ths.

    Here is a short list about rented quarries in the thuringian area in the year 1883 where you can find the name Habermann quite often.
