Thread: Think this is a coticule?

I don't think it's a coticule or a Frictionite. It does appear to be a synthetic but I do not recognize the stamping. The only word I can work out on the lighter side is "ponder" though the "p" is the most questionable. Can anyone else make out any more of the stamping?

Actually, it MAY be one of the re-branded Frictionites. Just as hardware stores sold re-branded straight razors, there were some Frictionites that were stamped with a vendor's name on the side.

Looks more like "WONDER"

What were the Dubl Duck branded Frictionites called?

Definately says wonder and also I see what looks like Detroit under that.

Stone to start to wash, and then put in order, then we will see what kind of stone. It is difficult to understand from a photograph.

There had been several "Wonder Hones" in the past. Mainly artificial hones like this one here:
ADORATION WONDER HONE test

Also there had been a wonder hone - which was actually a strop - produced by the Shaw manufacturing company in Detroit. Maybe they also made real hones!?

Anyway - I don't think it is a coticule...
but maybe an interesting great hone!

Here are some pics. I got it in the mail finally and cleaned it up
A bit. Definately not a coticule and I do not own a OO friction its to see if this is the same however it is pretty fine stone. Any idea of what it could be?

Already well understood that it is not сotikule, there is already a result.
