OK, so GIC seems to be up again (thanks!) but kinda slow in
responding.  Here are a few pix of my centre bits.
Turns out I mis-remembered regarding these.  I seem to
have a set of NOS Marples bits here.  1/2 to 1 inch in eighths.
I thought I had just some 5/8 NOS and a random assortment
of other bits making up the set.  Nope, it looks better than that!
You can still see the purple tempering colours on some of them.
Also see the file marks where they were sharpened.
