Picked a new Escher. 8" BG that is NOS based on the stamps on the honing surface. What caught my attention was the label on the box, The Will Corporation.
Got me curious, did they sell Eschers? So found a 1928 catalog and even though they don't have an Escher listed, they did sell razors, scalpels and sharpening stones.
