**Vintage Norton Sharpening Stone Set**
This is a complete vintage Norton sharpening stone set in its original wooden storage box. The set includes multiple whetstones of varying grits, including what appears to be a coarse orange/brown stone, a yellow Arkansas-type stone, and several other natural and synthetic sharpening stones. The wooden box measures approximately 12" × 4" × 2" based on the ruler shown for scale. The box features the classic Norton company label indicating manufacture by Norton Company, Worcester, Massachusetts.
The set includes the original honing oil bottle with red handle/cap, and all stones appear to show moderate use consistent with a well-maintained vintage tool set. The wooden box shows expected wear and patina from age, with some surface scratches and darkening, but remains structurally sound. The Norton branding and overall construction suggests this set dates from approximately the 1950s-1970s era.
All components appear present and in good working condition. The stones show some wear from use but retain their functionality. This type of complete vintage Norton set is sought after by woodworkers, knife enthusiasts, and tool collectors. Based on the completeness of the set, brand reputation, and vintage appeal, the estimated value range is **$75-150 USD** in the current collector/user market, with the higher end reflecting the complete nature of the set with original packaging and accessories.
