    The box is for an Escher hone (yay!), the hone itself is a baber's hone (oh no!), man made. Sorry!

    Thank you. Perhaps someone pasted the label to the box, then, because the box fits the stone like a glove.

    Escher did have stones in that size box, but they are natural and come with a slurry stone. The bottom of the stone usually has a label stuck to it also. They usually go for about 400.00$ on Ebay.

    The Droescher box mentions the rubbing stone which is an additional stone. If the barber hone fits the box perfectly sans rubbing stone, I agree it is most likely a swapped box.

    Thanks for all the information. It's a good thing I only paid about $15, shipped.

    The box is worth more than that!

    Really? Why is that? It also came with some damaged but still readable paper instructions inside.
