    Default Hess Barber Favorite No. 200

    I must have a rare hone because I cannot find anything on it!

    Can anyone help me out in my search?

    I even tried looking up Electronite.

    I looked through the recipes and found it. It's from the American Hone Company.

    And that's one I don't have.

    If you are asking if it also is from AHC, then I don't have to look it up. They made that one too.

    It is the same as the "Carbo 1915" Electronite that never needs to be resurfaced. Very good hone.

    Starting bid $1,000,000

    Thanks for the replies. This one is 2"x 4" and the Carbo 1915 looks a little larger.

    I try searching for Electronite and don't get anything.

    But then I look up American Hone and in it's great wisdom Google thinks I mean Home!

    I haven't tried it yet but AlienEdge says the material is very good.

    And if Utopian says he doesn't have one I am afraid to use it and lower the value to $500,000 or so.....
