SR90 'Scott's Carbo' Gray stone that is a little more coarse than the blues. 5 7/16" long 2" wide. some nicks in the edge of the front, and the back shows some wear to the center edges. this one could use lapping to restore the faces to the original. $20 Pictures: A B C

SR95
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
