LOL! I figured you would remember these Doorsch....


Check out the price marked on the wrapping: $6.00 US!!!!

I don't know if this is vintage or not, but it came in the original box and is NOS. I used the slurry stone on it once just to see what the slurry looked like. I need to use it on a razor sooner or later... And I don't have enough experience to judge the grit potential. It does seem to be a softer stone.

Nope - it sits with the labels sealed with Artists Gloss, both stones wrapped in cellophane, and stored in the box in a large ZipLoc bag - and I have no plans to touch that one. It wasn't an auction, was a BIN.

I have 3 other boxed, and one very old Escher blue I think, without a box, here's a pic:

Hey! I can join this club. I get the impression my Cattaraugus is old tech but haven't found much info about when it was made. Not for finishing, just a touch up stone? Can you tell I'm still looking for the right questions. The answers come later.
