Thread: A Rare Washita Hone

That’s the one!! Thank you!!

Very nice find! Here’s a few NOS arks that I have collected over the years.

I actually saw those two NOS stones in an old post of yours and was hoping you would re-post them. Thank you. Maybe others are out there too.

Love the literature that came with them!!

The literature is neat. I sent in for my free Barney doll but have not received it yet.

Doh! The crooked pic got me! Lol.

Can't you use one side and leave the face side pretty?

I find Arks interesting so I would love to find a Lily White someday.

Those Washitas are beautiful! Here is mine - I wasn't sure if it was truly a "Lily White" But having seen these pics it sure looks the same to me - Well, the label is the same anyway. My stone had some good oil build up when I purchased it from its previous owner. I have used this stone to finish a few wedges, with lots of time spent on linen before final stropping, and the result was smooth and enjoyable to me.

Thats a nice one! I see your rock collection is going on very nicely. Rock On! From the looks and the description, it sounds like a lily white.
Could you post a picture of the lables please.

The label is the exact same as the one in the first post. Just missing the corner and nearly transparent from resting on an oily stone for decades. I can post a pic later when I get home.

O.K I got you. That looks like a lily white as it is very pure with a small amount of light modleing. With your description that you can shave with it goes along with it too. Good chances it is one. I love mine! I hope you do to.
