GG's:
Though it wasn't what I had in mind, I absolutely love stories about finding
various parts of the same tool in different venues!
My stories are in the archives. The best one involves a seller calling me up TEN
YEARS later to tell me he'd found the missing parts of a Stanley miterbox.

that's a lost cause. About 2 weeks later at a local flea, I found the round
bottom in the bottom of a box - 25c.
Wish I had found the same sort of price, but I had a #66 beader with the
straight fence. Kept my eye out for the curved fence. Never found an orphan
curved fence, but one day I found an even earlier (japaned) 66 with a curved
fence. Oh darn! I have to put up with two #66 beaders!
