Hone ID help needed - what did I get?

Was hoping someone might be able to help me ID this hone. It came with a straight razors I purchased on eBay a while ago. No info was provided about it. It is 7" x 1.5" x 5/8". One side is cream/tan and the other is brown.Attachment 293890 Attachment 293891 Attachment 293892

I have a barber hone that has those colours, but it is not nearly that long.

Some type of coticule.

I'd bet my bottom dollar that it is a coticule.

And the dark side might be a piece of useless stone that they glue them too.

I didn’t look carefully enough at the last picture. The gap on the right end of the stone sure looks like a coticule glued to some kind of backing stone.

Looks like an old Coticule glued to a piece of BBW

A couple of more pictures / close ups would help, but the ones I have that look highly alike are all Coti + BBW glued;
back in the day BBW was 'always' used as a"""backer""", although I find calling the BBW a backer is proving it a big disregard, it's an amazing stone with great capabilities

Thanks for the replies. I started cleaning it up last night, I will try to get some better pictures tonight.

BBW or junk stone backer. They do the junk sto es now days, but years ago the BBW was used a lot more for a backer. Bei g this doez look old, you could have a dual stone there.

But im no Coti guy. Just what ive read.

Here are more pictures, I included wet/dry ones and tried to get closer but not sure if they will help any. The backing stone does not look like the pictures of the BBW that I looked up, they were mostly grey/blue. This backing stone is certainly more brown in color.

Certainly looks like a coticule with a BBW backing. I think you got a nice stone.

Wow, very interesting, thanks for the link. After looking at the link it looks like the backing stone may be Rouge du Salm. It looks identical to the pictures in the link, especially with a slurry on it.

Seeing your new pictures I agree with this statement,

very nice stones!
