You did good.
Now, show this page to you wife... :rofl2:
That Norton isn't THE norton, is it? The Axe Norton?
i believe it is a hone favoured by axmen to obviously sharpen their axe. they can fetch a very high price. might you be able to take a photo of the hone by its self? then someone in the know can clarify whether it is or isn’t.
Here's a post about it (vaguely) : http://straightrazorpalace.com/advan...tml#post307038

Yours has an oval...you might have struck the big one there...
Your wife can be proud of such a lucky duck!
The 'axe' Norton seems to bring in the $500.00 ballpark on Australian ebay. If you post a pic of the hone we might be able to tell if you hit the jackpot. One way or the other if the razors are good it was a heckuva deal.
