Thread: Bickett Razor Hone No. 6C

This is another hone I recently picked up and have not had much luck finding information on the forum.

It is 2 1/2 by 3 7/8 inches.

Manufactured by Bickett Rubber Products Corporation
Watertown, Wisconsin, USA

it is a man made barber hone. The hone I picke dup is new in box and shows a price of $1.50. All identification on hone is on back. It is interesting that the text on back has a double strike (for lack of better terminology) on the ETT in the name.

I will get pictures up soon.

Sounds neat. This quick "Google" (Leroy McVey Bickett) shows that they also made rubber-bonded abrasive grinding wheels. Does the razor hone look rubber-bonded, too?

WARNING: the link has a somewhat "racy" picture on the page (Swamsauger Lake). Well... racy for 1941; maybe...

Sticky,

It is very much a barber hone. The link you posted was the only one I came up with also.

I will get some pictures up sometime today for those who like to live vicariously.

Here are some pictures of the hone. for reference the background is an engineers pad with 1x1 inch main grid, each small square is .2 inches square

I have a Beckett barbers hone made by"National Products Company" Eau Clare Wis. It is 3 7/8" X 2.5".
Mine seems to be a little darker than Scrapman's hone. I just refound my hone while moving my shop out to the garage. Let's just say I had a messy work area! LOL
I have found the Beckett hone to work well& would rank it up with my better Barber hones.
