Thread: Need a couple hones ID'd

I don't know what the large one is but I think the smaller one may be a frictionite. A barber hone of some kind for sure.

it has been already mention.
Jimmy is Correct small one is a frictionate00 and very nice find . you must be very happy owner.

Thanks guys. Much appreciated.
How about the last one ( the very last picture). It is a
different hone than the Frictionate.

I don't know what that last one is. Did you lap the grunge off of the first one ? Do that with the first and the last and post side pix again and it will be easier to tell what you've got. If the first one has a slate back it is probably a coticule. I don't believe any other stones have slate backs and I've had one that was a creamy and consistent green. Sold it on ebay years ago.

try lap that stone and show again side view of it. then we can see better.

Hi Bud and Jimmy;
Ok guys... this is it. All scrubbed and flattened. They appear lighter in the pics than they are. I put the stones next to their slurry. Also I added a couple pics in the sunlight. Yes.. it stopped raining here finally.
Thanks again!!

The one on the wood does look like an Arkansas. Maybe a translucent Arkie ? The short one is still a barber hone. How about a side shot of the one with the slate bottom, unless it was one of the two I just mentioned .

The one with the slate bottom is the arkansas.

Interesting. I've never seen one like that. Maybe it ain't an Arkansas Someone more expert than me needs to chime in. Lynn or Sham maybe. A_S could probably tell you too.

The stone in the wooden box could be an Arkansas but the swirls and speckles remind me of ToS hones like the ones here: http://straightrazorpalace.com/hones...tml#post628100

Could you show the 'slate' side as well?
