Karl Bracher Jr. Water Razor Hone
I picked up a 6 x 2 Karl Bracher Jr water razor hone recently. It looks exactly like a Thuringian. I am wondering if anyone has any info on the stone or brand.
I’m almost positive it’s a thuri. I was just hoping for some info on the general brand quality from anyone who has had any experience with it. Thanks! I’ll throw up some pictures when I get home from work as it was delivered today.

It has been sometime, but I think the ones I remember with that name are Thuringian.

It is definitely soft and after lapping it I’m pretty sure it’s a Thuri.
Here are pics as promised.

Looks like Escher with different branding to me.

Karl/Carl - Bracher/ Brächer had a whetstone company in Sonneberg/ Thüringen.
Here is some short information.

The stone is clearly a thuringian.
Nice find!
