V-Blocks - the penguin - 11-28-2012
Today during my quest for a left-hand "Q" drill bit, I found a set of 4" x 4" x 3" v-block for sale. The store had them on the selves for 25+ years, still wrapped in the cosmolene paper and a generous layer of cosmolene, in an old trusty wooden box. After he found in wasn't in the computer inventory , he looked through about 20 old catalogs, and found nothing, I was about ready to give up, when he finally said "make me an offer", I told him $30, he didn't hesitate, and rang it up.

Good score!

Great score, they would be $150 plus over here. They look to be in as new condition even though they have sat for that amount of years.

Just to add to the gloating, MSC lists the 4"x4"x3" Suburban brand for $300.40.
I'd say that was a pretty good score.
