Hello everyone my name is Corey I'm a new member and this is my first post. I am fairly new to straight razors but not new to honing although I am not familiar with the thuringian hones. I just purchased a thuri on an auction site as a matter of fact I haven't even took delivery of it yet. The hone is a Fox no. 44 extra soft thuringian hone with rubbing stone. It's dimensions are approximately 7" × 1 5/8" x 3/4" . It looks to be in decent condition although the box finish and outside box label isnt the greatest. My question is at $290 did I pay too much for this vintage thuringian hone? I wanted to ask you guys what you thought while I still have a chance to return it. Here are some photos of the stone in question. I apologize about the quality of the pics they are just screenshots from the sellers listing because I don't have the stone in my possession yet to take better photos of it. Thank you guys very much for your time and HAPPY HOLIDAYS
