    But it would have been cheaper to just buy a second insert!

    A Boley & Leinen Staking Set.

    Complete with all stakes and stumps, two broken stakes and a number of mushroom heads I need to fix up. It was all seized up with dried oil and crud but has now been cleaned and working like a dream. Still have to fix a few of the stakes, what were they hitting them with, a f'kn 3lb ball peen hammer?

    Got the watch from Singapore and found out that I can buy a modern one much cheaper there than in Thailand!

    So this rather large box arrived today, well yesterday but I had to go pick it up from the post office today.
    image.jpeg
    Little concerned the box is so big as I bought a watch with a strap and the seller was including 2 NOS crystals as well. But, I admire the quality and care in which it was packed, not complaining more perplexed.

    Unpacked the extremely well packed parcel and was getting nervous as I pulled out a fair size flat box. Panic sets in 1) shipped the wrong thing, have to deal with hassles 2) open box and it could be empty or a note saying I've been duped.

    Turns out the eBay seller went above and beyond in sending this 1960/61ish original gem which is feeling the burn as well.

    And the box you ask (or have stopped reading by now)

    And the benched, although comfortably SM300

    Guess I have another few slots to fill now

    The Type 20s are firmly in the "stuff I like" category.

    Congrats!
