Antique Karasu Coticule
Hard and fine old coticule, once on a paddle from what I can tell. This piece has red blushing on the bottom, so I suspect it will get faster and faster with time.

Vintage boxed Asano Tenjyou and Mejiro
These are quite collectible, as the paper boxes get destroyed over the years, and these are very large examples. The red Asano stamp is always the first to fade to time. I think the Asano stamp on the tenjyou is nearly or completely gone, but you can still see the red shadow of it on the Mejiro. Both examples have the Asano stamp clear as day on their boxes, as well as the other stamps. The Mejiro feels like it is sealed with something very thin, hard to tell. $130 plus shipping for each, or $250 plus shipping for both.

Jnat nagura continued
-First is a very large Mikawa shiro nagura, works like Tenjyou or Mejiro. The bottom has some kind of darkness to it, not sure if it's natural to the stone but it does not affect honing. $40 plus shipping
-Second is a botan nagura, likely Asano. The Asano stamp is always the first to fade on vintage nagura, but the other stamps are still visible though faded. The only thing about this one is it stinks of old musty garage or something. I soaked it in isopropyl alcohol to try to suck some of the smell out and brighten up the color, it worked a little. Heavy discount $25 plus shipping
-Third is an Aiiwatani Asagi tomo nagura. These have been my go-to tomo nagura for myself and others for years, they are so fine. $40 plus shipping
