    Default New Escher

    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.

    This is a 1920 catalog. Pages 159 and 292 among the rest of the catalog are interesting.

    On page page 296 it lists blue green hones but not the brand.

    I've seen some strops at antique shops before. They usually look like Edward Scissorhands used them last.
