The surfaces of this hone seems to be in need of a Lapping to give a good finish to a razor. $25 Pictures: A B C D SR96 "SWATY" Red hone. It is just under four inches long, so might have been broken and had one end dressed. I used the name "Swaty" to identify the red color. Fine grit for final honing. $10 Pictures: A B SR97 FRANZ SWATY, WAHRING (second line: BEI WEIN (AUSTRIA) The two line casting is unusual in that the letters are larger than usual, the white background must be shaving soap since it comes out easily. Only one chip to the edge but the end of the hone has been used for some other purpose and has a slanted side. Your guess is as good as mine on what the owner had in mind. $20 Pictures: A B C SR98 THE CARBORUNDUM COMPANY, 2" by 4" by .5" Nice light gray hone with perfect edges.
