Stopped in at one of my local antique stores a few days ago and found these guys. Price was great on all so they had to come home with me.
The old liquor bottle is an old one from the local Seagrams distillery in Waterloo, that's closed down now, but use to make Crown Royal and other spirits. Came upon some great razors as well, but prices seem to be too high these days. Words out...

Oh my! Andrew will become a coticule guy now! ;)
Don't think that's a Coticule,
I am a Coticule guy Tom. Most my Sheffields have Coticule edges on them, they're so buttery smooth!! I have 2 real good ones.
Ya, Richards right. It's a synthetic combo stone of some sort. Might come to work with me to put edges on my chisels.
Nice scoop, Andrew. I picked up an old dual synthetic similar to yours that came along with an S.R. Droescher blue thuringian from ebay. Mine does not resemble a coticule, however, since it's light grey on the one side and dark on the opposite. Excellent shape save for few a small chips in corners, but I have no use for it. :shrug:
So this is not a coti? Silly me and naturals/synthetics.......Life! ;)

Looky at how the joint slants.......Really?
Nice! I can never find stones for some reason. Razors sure, but like you say, way to expensive.
Nice haul.
I went to a flea market a week or so ago and came home with this'
I was doing fine until it rained and i saw 10 in a box.
The guy said bad day and i need gas to get home.

I am SO not gonna guess what that hone is....Although I might.
Holy cow! That's a score. Are they in good shape, or are they destined for the wind chime?
I haven't looked into it much but I think translucent hard Ark. Pink spots...Quote:

Of the ten on the top 1 is wind chime, 2 need much work, and the rest are good to good+.Quote:

That’s a price you can live with. The goal is about ten bucks a blade for me.
I'm OK paying a little extra for good quality razors, but when they have odd ball razors, that they do a google search on, find nothing and think it must be a rare piece so let's stick $300 on it. Makes me laugh.
Hone sure looks like a Frictionite to me. THough they did make similar "not 00" hones. But it could very well be a stone worthy of more than being taken to the tool shed.
Well maybe I should give it a bit of a clean, and then test it on some razors. See what kind of an edge I can pull from it, before I demote it to work chisels.
Absolutly! Though I dont personally find Barber Hones to be in the same class as a Nani 12k Many people are more than happy with the touch ups they get from a good Frictionite, and of course, the old Norton hones. You may be pleasantly surprisedQuote:
