Thanked: 3795Swaty hone?
Big Red recently sold this Swaty in the Classifieds. I just looked at it today and immediately noticed something "wrong" or at least odd about it.
Does anyone else notice anything out of the ordinary about it?

It looks OK to me. But I have only one mint three line Swaty, never seen a used one.

Stamp is upside down? I'm only guessing since I'm not at home to grab one of my hones and look and I sold my only 3 line; I still have a Pike Swaty I don't use.
Other than that, I'd guess that it's one of those rare Swatys that I've heard about but I've never seen that were purported to soil themselves periodically?

Thanked: 335I didn't know good ol' Herr Swaty made 12 x 5 hones. It makes me want to expand on my coticule experience.

Thanked: 3795Chris got it right! I have never seen a Swaty with the imprint oriented that way. So, is it a rare Swaty or a poorly rendered copy?

It's the Inverted Jenny of Swaty hones?

The picture looks like there are Swaty droppings on the table top in addition to the hone.

Thanked: 3795Okay, now I understand! I was worried about you for a while there!
I hope someone can shed some light on this Swaty! Oddly, I actually am curious about it.
