At cost??? What is this; communism? It is capitalism that makes North America Great.

But it is this kind of gesture that makes MLU Great.

Looks like you may soon have your elusive socket, and several other collectors are going to get an excellent copy of a hard to find accessory.

Harris, please count me in for one.

Eventual postage to PA...

Any idea if before or after Christmas?

I have one of these blocks. My uncle gave it to me years ago, but I didn't know anything about it, other than it was made to fit a jack. The problem is, l don't really know where it is now. It definitely did not get thrown away, but it must be hiding in the deep shadows somewhere. I will need to keep my eye open for it. I recall that it was in perfect condition (probably not used much).

I had some excitement today... I finally got a chance to look for the carrier jack block, and I actually found it!!

I just wanted to share the information and a few photos. The number on the bottom reads: COIUC-105215-FMCO-43.

You wouldn't think grown men would get excited over a block of wood, but I know I just did.

Wayne: There is nothing like the excitement of a new (or in this case an old) find. I think it's often one of the best parts of this hobby.

Run of the repro blocks has now concluded.

PMs sent to all that was interested. I do not expect to produce any more, huge PITA.

I enlisted the talent's of a Mennonite for the wood construction, a machinist for the plate and a gun smith for the markings plus a body man for the painting.

Thanks to all for your support !

Now you know!

See the pics.

Cheers,
Harris
