This post was part of the Harmon Estate Sale in 2014 and all stones were sold during the sale.
Please do not contact me regarding the stones, as I no longer have inventory for sale.
A bit of history on the stones reveals that the Water of Ayr hones and Tam O Shanter hones are not exactly alike, although were sold under the same name early on. This batch of stones is a mix of both the fine stone, known as Water of Ayr and the more course speckled stone known as the Tam O Shanter hone. You can see more information here.

Looks like I missed out for more then?
Will you be getting more of these in stock?
Sorry, no – we have a few singles left that we will have at the sale, but these were a part of the estate contents and are a depleted resource.
Hi
I am interested in getting tam o shanter and water of ayr. I left message in above form already but not sure if you get it because I sent from my handset.
Thanks
I am sorry to hear you are having trouble with the form. Please send me an email directly at bcox@mechanicalcurios.com and I can get an order sorted out for you.
Tam ‘o Shanter stones are NOT Water of Ayr stones. They came from different quarries and are not the same! (I have both.)
Hi Dave,
They were sold under the same name early on. This batch is mixed and looks to include both Water of Ayr and Tam o Shanter. I have updated the post to include this. Thanks.
Hi David
What is the difference then?
Regards
Stephen

I know the two have often been considered the same. They were even produced out of the same quarry by the same company at times, but from different strata. The Tams are light in color with darker speckles. The WOA stones are slate grey, almost black.
Hi Brittany, I have been following the Estate Sale with interest from Australia. I would like to find about the sale and prices that this beautiful machinery is fetching. If you send me your number and an appropriate time I would love to have a quick chat. Cheers from Micheal Ph. 02 6628 4385 Mob. 0414 663399 http://www.michealconnorwoodwork.com.au
Hi Michael,
