Small guys

I stopped after work to look at these items, must not have read the ad throroughly...
Dont think they were quite 3" when I saw them in real life, there was just no perspective in the pic.
Cute little guys, I really didnt need them but they looked like Marples.. so off I go thinking: Deal !!
Well, they were clearly stamped INDIA. so I passed. Still, very nice ....

The square and bevel I had seen. About 10 years old as far as I know.
I never saw the miter square though.

I would have been sorely tempted!!
Maybe tried to haggle down to 7 or something?

Some of the stuff from India is actually quite nice.  Quality varies, though; I picked up a set of five engineer's squares cheap at a yard sale.  Four were dead-on accurate.  The other is nicely finished steel stock for some future project or other; a square that's not square isn't much use as a tool (unless it's an accurate miter square, a tool name that I've always found entertaining - if it measures miters, it can't be square).

These came as a set of four, the fourth one being a dovetail square.  I picked up a set maybe three years ago at Horror Fright.  Brass, rosewood, and blued steel blades... What's not to like?  A couple of years before that I picked up a set of four tiny planes, also from India.  Fun stuff.
