Williams Patent Glass Hone
Came across this curiosity on the interwebs. Reminds me (concept wise) of the little cupped glass hones for DE blades except this one you rub a slate "pencil" on the surface (which I assume came with the hone), I suppose to create an abrasive slurry. In a way it is also very similar, in theory, to the famed Bracketts Brazilian hone which was a hone made from melted down quartz pebbles and came with a coticule slurry stone to hone with. Anyone have any experience playing about with these kinds of things and whether they are effective in any way?

EDIT: Just to clarify the hone is the big slab at the top. The glass ball thingy is also a supposed razor honer but isn't the subject of the post, interesting nonetheless!
