Ah alright, and yea I could see it sais E&C(?).. I couldn't make it out by the pic just looked like a 9 to me. I'll post some updated picks Thursday when I pick them up. They're all good stones here in the lot tho eh? I can't see what the little thin one is.

I have one of these little 5x1 thury having also the chance to have labelled Escher hones over the years .

I am very impressed with my 5x1 there is no doubt they leave a very soft smooth edge when used , I love mine and I think there as good as any Escher I have had and sold .
