Thread: The Vintage Boxed Hone Club

You should use it !! It will be a really great stone, iam sure on this....

Oh lordy - time to show some treasures.....

NOS Escher Boxed B/G - never used - seal still on the stone




Escher Y/G - box has since been repaired



And I have another two, just can't find the pics...my HAD was restricted to an obsession with Eschers...and I still have no problem with that.....

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:

Actually i cant remember, but i think that might be too early for those...if you find that statement please repost or PM me...

In remember a discussion with Hatzicho on a geman board on those stones. Its mostly clear that these were sold from Chr. Luthardt F. Sohn, he was one who quarried the stones after WW2 until 1966.

yeah the dates were focused on the quarries not on a specific stone, actually as i see its Haberman and not Chr. Luthardt F. Sohn, this was my fault now because i took another reference....
