    Default This looks like a black surgical arkansas to me.

    Do you all think my guess is correct?

    Vintage Antique Hone Sharpening Stone Wood Box - eBay (item 350228676290 end time Dec-03-09 18:31:09 PST)

    If not, any ideas what it may be?

    Most likely it is not.
    what could be only God knows.
    The color which you are seeing is not the original color of the stone. it is oil stone and has been used plenty that is why color is black (actually i think real color is reddish) hope this helps.

    Well drat. Now that you mention it I notice a red chip in the corner there. What grit did Norton do AlumOx blocks in?

    At least I get half of a neat little box. I can clean it and put two razors in it!

    At least it looks like at the very least a Fine, so I maybe can find some sort of use for it. A starter for my knives maybe.

    Do you recall the sizes and what they were asking for them?
