Last Saturday we took a trip out to the City of Ely, home of a magnificent old cathedral, and found that the little market had been set up - although somewhat reduced for obvious reasons. I always look at the old tool stall there, just in case there is some kind of special purpose piece of tool hardware that I've never heard of, or seen before. This caught my eye in a tray full of old taps and dies - even a few taper reamers [which I bought, as they had a fine ring to them].
The stallholder had not the faintest idea what kind of cases were being mentioned on the packaging, but THIS boy knew. How much for this? Well, he said, if you can tell me what it is, you have have it for a pound [$1.34]. I told him, and bemused by it all, he took my pound and handed it over.
Inside there are obviously parts missing that I know not of, but I'll figure that out, I'm sure.
Even the fixing bolts are there, but no nuts. Nuts!
It has to be THE bargain of the year so far, eh? What do you think?
