>I'm always on the lookout for a good chisel or two. Today I got a call from the "worlds best picker" on my way to work. She was at a local flea. Would you be interested in a box of chisels marked T. H. Witherby?

It must be a bad cell connection says I, did you say Witherby? YES!

How much say I.

$125

I'll be there in 30 minutes with the money, buy them now!!!

OK she says, Oh, the box says Witherby too.

7 square edge firmers,3/8", 5/8",3/4", 1",1 3/4" and two 2" also a 1" bevel edge and a 1/8" mortise chisel.

I'm happy that its the best buy I've made so far in my short rust hunting career

>Wow! Nice haul. Who knew they came in a box like that? Do you suppose those are all-original handles?

If only I could train my spousal unit to go to flea markets...
