272609 Bill Webber 2021‑01‑19 Re: Blending Old and New Parts to Get An Acceptable Appearance
Thanks, Pete, I ordered a copy.

As far as the level goes, pardon my grousing.  The wood for the level is 
new, as are the end caps and the inset trim rings for the levels.  The 
level vials and hardware are from a Stanley #30 that spent a lot of its 
life under water; they are pretty shiny now.  The level will fill a slot 
in the Hilton chest just to show what was in it.  I see no benefit to 
antiquing this particular piece.  Like I said, just grousing.  Thanks 
for the info on the book,
