I just won a Stone off of eBay and I think it might be a escher!!! I'm hopping for a confirmation if possible??? If it's not do you have any ideas of who??http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...d8946cd879.jpg
The item number is 381894654215 if my pictures aren't good enough...
Thank you for your help!!!

Type of print does not look like Escher print I ever saw.
An interesting bunch you got. I see a couple of barber hones in there. Here's hoping that's a thuri.
Either way, the price was right.
Could well be an Escher

Hatzicho is the man to ask, either way give it a good lapping and get honing!
What's left of the print doesn't match the slip in mark's post.
First line is illegible, maybe a capital U
second line looks like "...and rub"
Third line reads "...then apply"
I couldn't make any sense out of the fourth line.
Hopefully I can get better pictures when it gets here. Either way it go's it will be a nice stone[emoji3]
Kind of looks like a genuine water hone to me. Attachment 253285
Could be. If you want I can delete this thread so it can't be used as evidence against you, cause you stole it ! ............ :rofl2:
The genuine water hone is an Escher, the cup indicates its
Escher & Co
The label doesn't quite match up to the Genuine Water Hone though. I think about the only way you're going to ID that rock is by getting it lapped and cleaned up. Doesn't look like there's enough of that label left for it to be of any use. :shrug:
Are you that guy that kept bidding up a dollar till you topped by bid!!! lolQuote:

I have seen a plethora of labels here. I could recommend to put some polyurethane or similar over that side to preserve what is left of the label. Some day You might see a match.
This one is devoid of the big Escher label, yet the remains of the little end one tells the tale..

The right question is is it thuringian - yess it is
Happy and Ghealthy new year
Thank you for the assurance! The rumble is over weather or not the label is a esher label or one of the other distributors of thuringian stones. My hope was that someone had an intact example of the same label for reference.Quote:

Well i understand now - i think its an another type of thuri maybe - a Celebrated razor hone with the Esher cup inthe midle
Or a genuine razor hone It is definetly some of the diferent brands for the same stone Ihave a wellow green thuri and blue green and a lot of diferent colors and theyre performance is almost the same As i say almost this means that the eshers are a harder and the celebrated are medium and softer but on finishing stage diferencess are almost unsensible
Good size stone by the way .I have it the same collor and it is a killer finisher - blue- gray - purplish with a methal shine and a lot of ultra fine shining particles
Veeery nice edges Shaves like a devil .
I think that this is your label - the Genuine
It looks just like this... Attachment 253438Quote:

Which is another way of saying "Yes, its an Escher"
I have what is likely the same exact size, and I love it.
I'll give you the Dimensions when it gets here.Quote:

And I stand corrected. Apparently there is just enough of the label left to ID the hone. Nice find!
Now I need to protect it the best I can. Any recommendations for what kind of lumber to make a hone box out of??

Hmm...I've got a few that were made of cedar. Looks good and smells kinda nice. My vote would be red oak though. Nice sturdy wood, and should be readily available at Home Depot/Lowes. Unless you've got a really cool lumber yard near by that deal with neat stuff like Purple Heart, Ebony, Bloodwood, and other neat exotics like that. Then the game changes a bit.
a box doesnt matter if you drop it. Just a fact. Protect whats left of the label using some sort of clear sealer. I know a lot of people here use a Krylon product for preservation purposes, I forget what its called though. What ever you use, make sure its clear and not "yellow/clear" can really make seeing whats left of the label difficult. And its perfectly fine to use it to seal the sides of the stone like they do with the Jnats.
That's the one :)Quote:

Personally I just like the look of a wooden box. I appreciate that my Best Arkansas stones, Ardennes coticule, and at least 1 of my no-name translucents all came with a wooden box. I guess you could say 2 of them, but 1 was only a half-box. I guess it doesn't serve much of a practical purpose, but it does give them a nice finished/cared for appearance. It just sorta fits to house a natural hone in a box made of a natural material.
If I were worried about dropping them I'd probably house them in Pelican cases lined with styrofoam or that spongy black fluff they use these days.
I will try to get a clear and proper hi rez photo of mine if you like. Its not a perfect label, but its the only one with the Eagle logo I have.Quote:
