Waterstone ID

[Tengu]

found a bundle at the car boot

is it easy or possible to ID them?

I plan to cut them to pocket size with my tile saw

I think its just a question of googling old sharpening stone and trawling through the results. Don't be too hasty with the tile cutter, some of those old stones are really quite valuable - in both money and utility.

I've found this site which shows how much some can go for:-

You may even be able to identify the stones you have from this site.

Good hunting,

Dave
