    Need to explain that. I lapped all mine without ill effect.

    Lapping a barber hone removes the original fine burnished surface and replaces it with a much more coarse surface that is the product of the coarse grit used in barber hones and the peaks and valleys left by the lapping grit.

    I like the one with the end label B.T. Co.
    There is a thread from 2013 about vintage logos and they are mentioned there. Very interesting.

    Well bummer they were both way out of true.
    Can the burnish be replaced?

    I'm pretty sure that BT & Co is and Escher hone. Don't kill the label while you are lapping and honing. A quick cover with CA or nail polish or lacquer will usually do the trick.

    Awesome thank you RezDog! I just grabbed the phone to ask that very question. Should I do the same with the Rochester?

    I think saving labels is important, even if they are part labels. They are part of the positive identification and as far as I am concerned without a label they are all mystery hones.
