It is a hone on a piece of wood with leather on the back side. I have had it for a while but have been unable to Id it yet. Thuringen maybe, anyone know the maker shown on the box?

Probably a thuringian Hone or a Schwedenstein, just google Schwedenstein hone and youll find a lot of info
I have a (confirmed by Hatzicho) Schwedenstein hone and it doesn't look quite the same.

The hone was sold by the Schleifmittel AG (SAG). As a follow up company to Escher&Co they sold thuringian waterhones under different names. I have not come through this factum labelled hones, but it looks like a blue thuringian.
The interesting thing is that on the left side of the label, the shown eagle looks like the symbol of the Adler Schleifmittelwerke, which now belongs to the Friedrich Müller GmbH. I don't have any information so far, if - and when these both companies have joined together and how.
Thanks again Hatzicho for the background info.
My theory is still that Friedrich Müller just wanted to use a comparable style which was used from SAG before.Quote:

You see that especially the letters "S" and "G" exactly look the same...
Corum Oilstone was also used under SAG.

I bought exactly the same "razorhone"

@Hatzicho do you know something more today?
It's not Schwedenstein.
What i can add is that both labels are documented Schleifmittel Aktiengesellschaft (SAG) labels, which still let me think that later articles of Friedrich Müller just should look like the products of SAG which were sold earlier in time.
Hello. Can you help me identify this stone without a label or box. Without certainty, the seller says that it is a Yellow/Green Thuringian stone recovered from an old barbershop in Germany and that the quality of the stone must come from a large manufacturer such as Escher&Co etc. The last photo shows the wet stone.
Thanks for your help.

For sure a thuringian Stone. And yes seemd to be a yellow green stone. The quality should be on par like Escher Stones even if it doesnt show a labelQuote:

Nobody to help me on the origin of this stone?
.

Not me, unfortunately.
Hard to say from the pictures...Is it a hard stone? Looks like it. Maybe some sort of Lynn Idwall?
Seen this old couples of stones, a coticule but the other is it a Thuringian stone? The dimensions are that of an Escher 8x2x1...

Hard to say from the pictures, I kind of have a confirmation bias on old stones. I want them all to be nice Eschers/Thuringians. I'd say the only real way to tell is to lap it and try it out. You'll know almost immediately if it's a thuri, I haven't had a stone yet that replicates the feedback I get from mine. Just my two cents, someone with more knowledge will come along and have more info I'm sure.
Always complicated from the pictures to see if it's a Thuringian stone or not... I don't have enough eye for that :thinking:
Could well be from the pictures. Typical scratches and cutting marks like a thuri!
I am by no means an authority but it looks like a blue green Thuringian to me. Those saw marks on the edges is typical for Thuringian stones.
Thanks gentlemen :chapeau
