eBay hone lot with a coti in it, 3 other stones that might prove interesting:
1: is a 7" Coticule missing the backing stone. Looks like a nice one and I have BBW backing stones to spare.
2: Kinda looks like a really beat up soft/gritty low grade coticule or maybe a reform coticule from the front. Back would have to be an absolutely demolished and dusty very brittle BBW example (seen on some of the low grade vintage coti's so wouldn't be a shock)... or maybe a smashed up Queer Creek or similar? I have seen ~3x2" Queer creek before... but the face looks too yellow to be QC to my eyes. Heck this could be some kind of paste or chalk in a roughly hone-like shape. My money is on very smashed up and very powdery/low grade vintage almost worn out coti piece though. Or maybe some random coarse rock with a big blob of eggshell paint on it.
3: Pretty sure this is 4.25x1" Thuri.
4: The dimensions on this one are throwing me. I THINK it's almost 6" long and under 1" wide... 140x20mm Thuri or other vintage black (SSofgR/Silkstone/etc) is my best guess... but like #2... almost nothing would surprise me.
For <$35, I'll take that gamble.
