Hones score from the wilds!
I'm not sure if this thread should be in "Show and Tell" or "Hones", but since it's all hones I put it here.
Found a nice box of hones at the flea market, got a great deal on them!

There are 5 Arkansas stones in wooden boxes/bases, 2 translucent Arkansas stones, a Tam-O-Shanter, a coticule razor hone unused in box, a thick Purple Welsh slate, an unknown very fine tan hone, a small Charnley Forest, a fine manmade hone in wooden base (feels like same material as a barber hone), and a Cortland barber hone. I haven't cleaned or lapped any of them yet, this is how I found 'em!
Here are some closer pics.
Two translucent Arkansas stones and a Tam-O-Shanter. One of the Arks is wide 3 x 6 x 7/8.

Soon to be cleaning and lapping them, can wait to try them out. I'll probably get pictures up after they are ready. Thanks for checking them out.
