    Stanley square that was "picked" today is a No. 20.....12" Screws holding the brass strip to the Rosewood handle....one has left the building. Looks like it might have been stripped out at one time, may see IF I can find a longer one to replace it...

    Square has been rehabbed back to life, and I can read all the inch markings. One item...depending on which side you look at the blade, the numbers either run towards the handle, or away from it.

    Might be able to find some use for it...

    Steve, this may, or may not be true, but, it is my opinion, which changes depending on what I last had to drink, that squares have a thing for you. I half expect to find out that they follow you home and you might be heard to say "um, where did this square come from?"

    You have a seriously nice collection there Steve. I don't think that I own a single square of that type. And, it seems that you just recently grew that collection of yours!

    And for reasons that make no sense to me, I am not thinking about cows with guns
