    Gentlemen, keep any further communication as to acquiring stones restricted to PM please. So there won't be any misunderstandings regarding the rules.
    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

    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.

    The stones were sold in boxes with different colors. Here are a few:

    Nahh, but desire to have one that you experts of the Hone-E-Grail give the nod to.
