New vintage Charnley Forest (Charnwood) hone
Arrived today (in a box marked "FRAGILE", so of course the box was all beat up, looking like someone had perhaps kicked it all the way to me, but the hone apparently suffered no damage).
More photos here
Hard to take a photo such that the colour comes out true to life. It's a very dark greyish green. It's been oiled (before it got to me), and I think the oil is tending to reflect light and, at least in some of the photos, to make it look more light green than it truly is. The surrounding box looks like mahogany to me eyes.

Get it outside to natural light without dark background that should improve the picture.
