Thuringian and Coticule stones were indeed boxed in wooden boxes. However, you must be cautious when bidding on old grimy looking wooden boxed sharpening stones. Most I've seen are close to worthless coarse oilstones.
People seemed to almost laugh at Sham some time ago when he stated that there was a "brown Escher". OK, maybe they didn't, but I recall skepticism. He's right. and you're right as you know, that you have a brown Thuringian. IIRC Sham also said, like you Kees, that the brown Thuringian put a better edge on a razor than the gray ones.
The one I had that started this post was very small. I sold it to Sham. I knew it would have a good home.
