Title: Got me a Plumb Bob
Post by: HeelSpur on November 09, 2013, 04:50:20 PM
It pays to dig thru boxes at auctions. Most people I saw today were just glancing very briefly into boxes while I was digging. Found this plumb bob tube and the lid was on cock-eyed and cross threaded so it was pretty difficult to remove. But when I got it off and took it out I put it back in the box before anyone else saw it :-). I got the box of goodies for $5.

 Yes you did. You can get its twin on e-bay for $35+$7.30 shipping but you don't get a box. Congratulations on a bid well made.
