    Default Superior Razor Hone

    Found locally today. A 2 sided barber's hone sold by T Eaton Co in Canada.

    Nice looking hone from the one side. What does the other look like?

    Do you know the vintage and if this one was made in Iowa?

    Thanks. Condition wise both sides are the same colour wise they are different. The side shown is a medium grey and the side not shown is a very dark grey/black. The side not shown is referred on the box as "finest Belgian Hone".

    There is nothing on the box or hone to indicate where it was made. The only thing I know for certain is that the T Eaton company sold straight razors before WWII. How long they continued to sell straight razors after that is a mystery to me and would guess that as long as they sold straight razors they would be selling hones and strops to support that.

    Thanks, I would have thought that that was the dark side.

    But then again the show side with the name is the finishing side, at least for most.

    If nothing else I have learned about T Eaton and his Co. after reading this thread.

    After a little looking I think that I remember when Sears bought them out but I do not usually follow such things.
