Absent an imprint, stamp, label, or identifying box, the above name is as good as any other you might care to give it.

Classic, I was waiting for you to respond to this, I heard between you and randy, you've seen them all.

I was going to say most barber hones are brown-rusty coloured. This particular one is really red. Hmm isn't it fun to have an unlabelled stone. I've got one (not this type) and really the only way you're going to get to know it is by lapping it and using it. I digress.

There is really no way to know for sure.

I plan on lapping it...when I buy one...sometime soon....lol and getting it functioning again.....lol
