Congrats ! What I find interesting is the barber scene in the center of the label. I cannot make out if it is the same as that on later Eschers or only similar. Anyway, if it is only similar it may be the source of Escher printing labels that said to look for their signature and avoid 'imitations'. Of course an Escher is a Thuri and the stone is more important than the label. Then again, it may be an Escher.

Nice find. Looks hardly used or not at all. You're in stone heaven now.

Actually, it was a flea market score... I did the leg work for it. Dang near walked right past it (closed up, under some other junk). He had about 8 straight razors, all of them looked like rusty twigs of steel, $15 each of course... .and then on the other side of the table, underneath some trash, I find this... lol.. I probably coulda talked him down from $7 but I just paid it and strolled away. Sometimes you just get lucky, I've been looking for one of these for a long, long time and have never scored one - I've found a few BBW's and Coti's in stores and shops but never a Thurry.

Excellent find Brad! I've found a few hones in the wild but nothing complete with box. A couple weeks ago I did the same as you, I almost walked right by a box of hones on the floor in an antique store. I was very happy to discover a nice 7" x 1.5" thuringian and a swaty, both for $15!
