Thread: Trying to identify a hone supplier manufacturer

I am trying to identify a supplier or manufacturer of white coloured hone. The label is very damaged the only things which could be read are TH & CO and HO & GM. I do not have a picture and also I do not have the hone yet. I was not able to touch it yet.
Can anybody help? Thank you

TH & CO might be Thomas Hazeon & Co. who were "Hone, Oilstone and Grindstone Merchants," based at 10 Bishopgate Avenue, Camomile Street, London. I don't know exactly how long they were in business, but in 1893 they were retailing the following: Turkey Stone, Arkansas Stone, Washita Stone, Grecian Oilstone, Whittle Hill Stone, Welsh Stone, Canada Stone, Water of Ayr Stone, Kilburn Whetstones and various Holy Stones, Grindstones, Jeweller's Blocks, Polishing Stones, Rag Stones and Scythe Stones. Their trade label was Cutphast Incorporated.

Kindest regards,
Alex

Thank you Alex,
This would suggest that the hone is most probably white Arkansas as those others are not white.
