Peter did a wrote up here!! With this reference to the boxes he showed

"This also explains why a lot this hones were found on these small razor storage boxes, which are equipped with a hone and leather for honing and stropping. The boxes in which the slate pencils had been sold look quite comparable to these razor boxes."

Yep, I've read that write up a couple of times. Excellent info.

That's a very typical Schwedenstein Dennis. Congrats to the find!
They normally work a little faster than the devonian thuringian waterhones, but leave a different and somehow individual edge. Not as fine as a thuri, but... you will see yourself.
Have fun!

Yep, been wanting one, crazy how you happen into what you want just when it kind of slips your mind lol
