Daughter and I had a Tony Seo sighting-gabbed for a bit about prices!  Got a
steel Stanley block for the new Grandsons (one is 1 the other is 7 months).
Also got a little anvil (for my anvil accumulation).

Didn't buy much, but won't miss the sales either!

made a quick run down to the spring Brown Tool Auction dealer sale in Camp Hill
PA yesterday.  Which I guess was warranted as this was the first one that I have
been down to (spring and fall) in a few years.  But I came, I saw, I bought.

will take some research and some cleaning but it is different.
