Just grabbed the smaller hone. I actually didn't realise that it was going to be smaller than the Star I already had. Its basically 5'x1'. 125mm x 25mm At the price I paid I'm good with that.

Just won this wee thuri.
Has anyone seen the C L logo before?

Go on then... who snaffled the 10x2 on UK ebay just now...?
Not it.
Not what now...?
So this is the Logo of Christoph Luthardt Fikken Sohn (CLFS). He was a miner of Thuringian hones in Steinach and his quarry was the last that closed (in 1966). For a long time Luthardt was the supplier of waterhones to the Escher company.

I don't think I have posted this one before.
9 15/18" yellow green with a thin blue green layer under the label. Label is in rough shape, side color label is gone. Not lapped.

Very nice. Lots and lots of good YG in that one.
2.5 x 5 inch mottled green/black unlabeled Thuringian. First edge is very comfortable.
Looks almost black in darker light. This morning you can really see the green.

Hello everyone, my hobby is wood carving and I thought I had an problem with stone obsession, after reading this forum I feel much more normal …lol. I usually use oil stones but wanted to try a Thuringian so bought one (I believe!). I am very surprised with the feed back I get from it,very, very nice.
My question can anyone help? I am unsure as who the manufacturer is, the logo looks like S&D or D&S. The only company I can find whose initials might fit is S.R. Droescher?
Thanks in advance for any help.

It's DSG - Deutsche Schleifmaterialien Gesellschaft
Thank you very much. I like to know the history of any of my tools & equipment. What a great forum.
This find has me stunned. Bought on eBay. Seller said it was in a basement in Philadelphia with other antiques.
They all same cut, light green, maybe there is a YG green hiding there but so far the ones I lapped a bit are LG. Box is of a size I have not seen before. Seems like it was really made as box of rubbing stones.
The large stone is there just for comparison.

Neat find. Are they 2.5 inches long? Made for the Barbers Gems?
2 3/4.
Is it the same seller that has the Old Rock coticules? If so who ever lived there must have hoarded some nice rocks
