The vintage silk finish linens have all but stopped my honing (only hone once every 3-6 months), and this was the only coticule finisher I had that I kept. Did try to sell it in the S&S a couple of months ago, but fortunately, it didn't sell. I don't think I'll be trying to sell it again.Disburden likes this.

Your newest is almost always your favorite, right?

Here is one of my favorites:
A restored cracked one;
"Before"
"After"
Another one,
I think I've got the smallest "commercial" coticule ever!
It's a pin, with a coticule sharf captured in epoxy.
It measures just below 5/16' - 3/16' with a thickness I guess around 1/64' !
It is rather difficult to hone though...
And no, I don't know which layer it is...

In a way it is alike to his quote:
"advertisements to draw attention...to the Museum. I don't believe in duping the public,
but I believe in first attracting and then pleasing them."
The Museum of the coticule...
