V-Blocks

[the penguin]

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.
