    Default Norton Barber Hone find

    I found this today at a garage sale.
    It had been subjected to a bit of abuse over the years and was a little dished out, but I just finished lapping it and its looking much better now.
    It measures 5 x 2 inches.
    My heart started pounding when I saw it, cause I have seen Norton hones similar to this go for more than $500 on ebay and I'm sure I remember Sham saying they were the one of the best stones he's had. I'm just hoping thats what this is.
    I'm looking forward to trying it out, the fine side feels ultra smooth.
    How do you guys think I did, is it worth the 1 DOLLAR I paid for it
