-575 sharpiron@g... (erik peters) 1970‑01‑01 hello/do you know?
Hello!  I'm somebody new to laugh with and at.  I live in
	Arizona, the land of damn few tools (but no rust).
	I love to see how many shavings I can get out of a
	piece $$$ wood just to have something to proudly
	point at.  
Now to throw a curve. I, gloat, picked up a Stanley saw set
	the other day.  The jappaning is about 60, marked with
	#42X and the B casting marks.  In the world according
	to J.Walter, the B markings were in the 1900-10ish era.
	The #42 was offered starting in 1911.  The number #42X
	is not listed in any catalog I've seen.  Could this be
	a Pre-Production model? 
I will bow and scrape to the elder GM's wisdom.  
Life is both too short
