Great snag. They are very nice hones.

The reason I was asking is, I have a notebook of estimated worth of all my shaving gear, to be left for my children to view when I am no longer around.

Now, I need to figure out how to use it without destroying the labels.

Very nice score. Finding it an antique store like you did is priceless.

How come I never find Eschers in these markets!? Not fair!

You're very lucky, very nice hone.

I've never found any hones in any antique stores around here. Maybe Sham gets them all. Congrats on the Escher it's real purty.

Congratulations, from somebody who also has found a similar labelled Escher at an antique store, although yours looks to be the highly sought yellow green and mine is blue gray. My label came off while lapping the stone, so I just dried it out and saved it in an envelope. You are going to be amazed at the difference when you hone your first razor on it and shave. It will be sharper and smoother than the edge from most other hones, and will give you excellent feedback on your sharpening progress. I no longer bother to use slurry, since I set the bevel on other stones first. It is simply the best finisher I have ever owned, including several coticules.

I drove about 40 miles yesterday just to do a little antiquing. Found

Nothing! Nothing! Nothing!

But the weather was fabulous.

When you put down what it is worth tell them to get in touch with JimmyHAD first for top dollar.

I haven't done anything to mine to protect the labels, i just don't use too much water and keep them over a towel when i hone.
Seems to be working so far.

And yes, we don't do appraisals here. It's a nice rock.
