Rex and Galoots,

I can't add much to this other than a "me too."  I
have a slightly smaller oil stone that I used for my
fine stone for a year or so before I noticed "Deerlick
Oil Stone Co." impregnated in the stone.  It is more
brown in color than any other fine oilstone that I
have.

At least we now know that the company was from Chagrin
Falls, maybe some northeast Ohio galoot will be
inspired to do some research.

A search of the DAT did not turn up any information.
