my addition to the thread
Just won this guy off Ebay:
American Improved Quality (Three Line Hone) made by American Hone Company - Olean, NY
Average barber size - 2" x 5.25"
Both sides seem to be the same grit to my fingers however, the instructions say the stamped side is actually finer than the flat backside. I haven't used it yet to see because my razors either don't have bevels set or are waiting to come back from the honemeister...

I have the box too but the stupid picture limit per post forced me to delete it.
