68026 Dan Indrigo <dindrigo@h...> 1999‑09‑13 I'd like a date
for the Norton combination stone I picked up in the supposedly rust free
zone called california. The cardboard box has a silvery gray and black
background pattern made up of triangles with every other triangle
containing an N. The label is two tone green and says

"              NORTON ABRASIVES
               COMBINATION HONE
  REG U.S. PAT. OFF.      MADE IN U.S.A.
BEHR-MANNING, TROY, N.Y.,U.S.A (DIVISION OF NORTON COMPANY)"

The stone itself has an logo impressed in it but it's a pike logo. It's
a recessed square with the word "PIKE" in the middle. The I in pike
actually is part of a much larger P that has a pike swimming through the
P. I don't know for a fact if norton bought pike but this stone fits
this box perfectly so I assume that is the case. So what can you tell me
about this stone.

Thanks

Dan
