Probably going to be a barber hone, which most people got through the Sears catalog.
Most likely it came from a local store. Back then (early 20th Century), you could order through a store much like you could from a Sears catalog store in later years. This stone, best as I recall, has "Razor Hone" at the top. It's a dark reddish brown. If it survived a house fire, then it's pre-1930s. If not, it's between 1930 and 1940. Before he died, my father suddenly realized that his father's original razor strop would have been lost in the house fire, and didn't recall where he got his last.
