One of the now disused coticule quarries was called the Old Rock. However there are more rocks called the Old Rock.
Can anyone tell me whether this hone is a vintage coticule?
I may bid on it if you guys think it is worth it.

Kees,
It does not look like a Coticule to me and I suppose it was clever old time marketing to use the popular "Old Rock" name. It appears to be a standard barber hone but I cannot be sure. I recently sold a 2 x 4 Escher that came in a carboard barber hone type box but carried the E & Co. label and Water Hone name. Under microscope inspection it was clearly an Escher packaged for a barber supply company. I have an Escher here in a Sears box along with the escher logo and a separate rubbing stone (not for sale <g>) so many of these were marketed through regualr chanels.
