Hey all,
I was bidding on a couple of things at an auction that's literally five minutes from my office, so I took a shot on this gauge block accessory kit. There's no marking on anything, but it looks like a similar set Lost Creek Machine has listed as being from Germany. The box has Grud or Grub on it, but that could be anything. The white goo on the green fabric is from the hot glue the auction idiots use to secure the lot number...like putting it on the wood was too hard to ask?
The only thing is, the base block is missing...should be in the lower right corner of the case. Am I correct this is only used when stacking vertically? I'll admit I'm almost entirely ignorant of the subject. I've got $160 in the kit, which seems like a score even without the base block maybe? Any idea if I can source another base block and have it work with these? Thanks...I'm slowly learning metrology and finding it hard to not buy all sorts of stuff!
