Both purchased today. The bench hone is over one foot long, two inches thick, and 3 inches plus across. Any help on ID would be great! Thanks in advance.

A natural coticule on top, and a twenty dollar bill...
The Coticule is a very good stone for razors, going back hundreds of years.
The Monster one, i dont know its very dirty, do you think its a natural stone or man- made?
Can we see a pic of the bottom of the stone?
I dont see any saw markings on the sides probably a man-made stone, looks a little rough in grit as well, couldnt be that good as it was obviously used as a coaster...
Mike compare it with the Droescher you got today as well.
I disagree, I think it is a natural stone. It appears as though there are straight saw marks on the sides as if sawed by a reciprocating gang saw, and the one end at least appears to have radial saw marks. My guess would be a sandstone but the pictures aren't the clearest when viewed on my phone.
I think I know somebody that has one of those :<0) Maybe..
In fact the whole front of his house is done in them and the fireplace. :roflmao
Wait and see if Wolfpack knows.
