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.
A small Charnley and an unknown tan super fine stone (looks very promising).
A wide and thick Purple Welsh slate. 3 x 8 x 1 1/2.
An unused cotiucle "Genuine Belgian Razor Hone".
An unknown manmade hone, feels very fine just like a barber hone and similar color but bigger. 7 x 2 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.Last edited by xiaotuzi; 08-27-2017 at 10:03 PM.

Nice!
You will have a whole bunch of fun trying each of. That is an exceptional find.
