Hone query

Anyone know the value of a Dalmore Blue Hone Stone.

Thanks.

If its like new, ie flat, they are popular with straight razor users and a new one would set you back over a ton.

It's been used but is flat.
Been in my Mums below the sink for years and now with me.

Don't know wether to use it or try selling it.

Thanks guys.

I think I'd try using it, then decide whether to keep it or not. I must say I prefer older stones to use over most of what's available today, the quality seems much better, but you may need to experiment with different lubricants to find what works best on a given stone. I usually start with water, unless it's obvious the stone has had oil on it previously.
