The mailman just delivered and boy am I glad
One hone is a Celebrated Razor hone and the other looks like the elusive Y/G :D
Cheers
Ivo
ps. To the people I talked about getting me Y/G - we are still on, I'd take one more just to compare them

Very cool Ivo.
Did you find them on ebay? What vendor if I may ask.
Which ones the Y/G? They both look grey to me :shrug:Quote:

Neale,
Look for the other threads on Eschers. I posted a thread showing all the colors side by side in good lighting.
I think it was called Green Eschers, Blue, Eschers...

Thanks Ivo. I've responded by PM. I think your vendor has, um, possibly screwed me :thinking: , but I'm withholding judgment for the moment.Quote:

It hasn't arrived and I've had some trouble getting in touch with the vendor. When I saw this post I rather jumped to the conclusion that the vendor had sold my stone to Ivo. It now looks like the vendor has (or had) several of these and mine may have been misdelivered.

Talking about the Celebrated Water hone, which I got from 3tuza, who sells on ebay. He also told me he has several Eschers for sale. I had a great experience with him but let's wait and see what happens with CurtisQuote:

And what is a Celebrated Water Hone?
At the moment it looks very much like a post office mistake and no problem whatsoever with vendor 3tuza.Quote:

I thought he'd taken my money and then sold the stone to someone else off ebay, and was just going to stonewall me and figured one negative feedback wouldn't kill him. Anyway, I was wrong about all this.
Again, just to be very clear: 3tuza appears to be an excellent and honorable vendor. Now move along, there's nothing to see here.:D
Just a quick followup to say that seller 3tuza is a superb seller. The mistake was mine. He sent the hone promptly, the receptionist where I work misplaced it, then Ivo posted pics of his nearly identical hone bought at the same time from 3tuza, meanwhile I couldn't get a hold of 3tuza and began to assume the worst.
The hone was found, is a lovely hone. 3tuza gets an unequivocal thumbs-up, and he's worth getting in touch with for anyone looking for an escher.
