F&Co Thuringian type hone
Just received this ebay purchase in the mail, the label is in pretty poor condition so I'll type up most of it here for informational purposes. I am fairly certain the label shown below is of an F&Co hone (a.k.a. FASO, Fassbinder & Co)
Center part of the label:
Wasserabziehstien
fur rasier u federmessser
garantiert feine qualitat
Right side in English:
Directions
This stone is to be em-
ployed only with water
and will impart a very
smooth and durable ed-
ge. Keep free oil and
grease.
MADE IN GERMANY
lots of pics

The slurry on a DMT, dried portion turns white/light gray, wet part is medium gray
end cut:

Looks awesome to me.

Yeah it looks like there is an openened straight razor shown above the F&Co sign. So it might be a variety of the following typical Label of Fassbinder for the thuringian hones they sold:
