    Default Escher question

    Regarding the 5 x 2.5 x .75 inch stones, are they all "Barber's Gem" stones? Did Escher produce other models in these dimensions? I thought a Escher is only a Barber's Gem if it was a Pike/Escher stone.

    The box it came in was a golden yellow and just has the Escher barbershop scene on the top and no name or model type. It has the standard Escher label on the inside top of the box. I can post pics if that would help.

    If anyone has any info on it I would appreciate it.

    Escher stones came in Barber's Gem, and Barber's Delight. I see more of the latter than the former. I've only had/seen one Barber's Gem, and it was a light green according to the end label. Basically if it is an Escher it is an Escher IME, regardless of the dimensions and the packaging.

    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

    Also Schleifmittel Aktiengesellschaft as a follow up company offered stones in these sizes, they were sold on the german market but also were sold as export products....the stones have been shipped over Hamburg where they had a storage location directly at the harbour.

    Here is an extract from the old pricelist, with products sold as type "Barbierstube" or "Barber Shop"

    Here is one in Dark Blue, most likely one from Schleifmittel Aktiengesellschaft (SAG) with the reference to "Barber Shop"

    Evidently, Escher produced a Barbers' Gem (sized 5" x 2") for Severin R. Droescher (SRD) as well, and I'm fortunate to have found one in decent condition a few months back. It's labeled "blue" and here's a pic:
