Antique find. Thuri score!
I decided today would be a good day to do my usual run of antique mall near me.
I strolled by the usual seller who has tons of razors and is quite knowledgeable about what he has. The prices reflect it. Not today... I found something he didn't know he had.
A Thuri. Enjoy some pics.
I do actually have a question... it's located at the bottom of all the images.
Cleaned with just dish soap and a brush.

Just in case you wanted to know how much I paid for it. The number 998 is the vendor number.

Piet and I looked over the images and we think it might be a blue/green Thuri?? If you have some ideas please chime in. The feel of the hone, the feel of it lapping very easily and the over all size compared to the other Thuri has me a STRONG believer this is a Thuri.
