I have a stone that I would like to know more about.

Post some photos of it, I'm sure someone will be able to help.

Hi and welcome. Plenty of information and people knowledgeable about stones here. What do you have? If you don't know then pics will be needed to help identify.

Lacking any further info, your stone will fall somewhere between the following.

Emma, mmmmmm.

Here are a few pics , the engraving on the side reads "AM hone Co Olean NY"

Looks like the American Hone Company Sportsman's Stick. A pocket sized hone for pocketknives, arrow heads, fish hooks, hand ax, etc. These were cold press man made stones. The grey ones are around 1k in grit, the brown ones are around 5k in grit. They also made a combo hone that was 1k on one side and 5k on the other.
They made other hones as well, but the 1k and 5k are pretty common.
Anyway, great for knifes and edge tools, not so great for a razor.
Too bad it's not a frictionite...
