Antique store find
Found this Franz Swaty Marburg Austria hone for 5$ in an antique store, doesnt look like its been used much, if at all.
Looks like a milk chocolate bar, very smooth
Sorry for the crappy pic

You did well. That is the original Swaty location and they had good quality control there. Wash it and try it on a slightly dull razor. dry or with a bit of lather.
Have fun!

Nice find Alan, that stone will serve you well for keeping that keen edge. Hope to find one myself one day.

Another hone is saved from the shameful fate of being turned in to a paperweight....

Funny thing is the particular antique store has all shaving related merchandise in one place and all tools in another, the 2 places you would expect to find it. Instead it was over near the glass and crystal section, in a box with some bottle openers.
