Just got home and tried for a couple more photos. Not too sure what you look for in photos of a stone though.

Thanks for all the replies to this one, its fascinating finding out what I have turned up.
100% indeed nice coticule !
Well sadly there were no other stones in there and no sign of a strop, there are a lot of blades though.

Not being a man that needs much convincing to become obsessed with things I am taking this hone as a sign that I should begin research on here into honing, how bad an idea can it possibly be if it means I have an excuse to get a couple more razors, even if they are junk ones to practice on.
Stones a great find,The blades are used for doing frozen sections,would keep them if you can,Is good steel for maybe some project.
I'm going to agree with the Coti assessment, along with the notation... Even if it were to be an artificial "modern" stone, if it were in use as a microtome hone, it would STILL be of very high quality, and useful in the wide realm of Straight Shaving!
