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.

Wish me :gl:
Wow! Great looking NOS Thuri!
So the NOS Thuri is not so NOS anymore. I refreshed a few of my favs yesterday and today. I was surprised how fast this stone cuts. And, it leaves a silky smooth, sharp edge. Very happy with this Gnat.
I had no idea Thuringian hones would cut as fast as this one. Is that normal for Thuri's?
If that Thuri had a Carborundum in the woodpile long ago,,,:shrug:
