What is this?
« on: November 27, 2010, 01:48:04 pm »
As posted in my last topic of the candle holder, I found this in the same place. I just have no idea what it was used for. There is a patent number on one side of it. any help would be, well, helpful!
Thank you

Have you tried sharpening scissors knives or razor blades with it yet? It looks like it would work great

This one http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=290501521784 recently sold for $28.

On a straight razor forum, they deemed this type of sharpener was worthless and a sham. http://www.straightrazorplace.com/forums/auction-talk-ebay-etc/25595-marble-straight-razor-sharpener.html
