I bought one of those swage blocks.  It was too good of a deal to pass 
up.  They are pretty much rough castings and need smoothing out, but don't 
most of them come this way anyway (I know the Lorance ones do).  Anyway, 
there's a nice assortment of spoons, ovals, shovel, dishes, and edge 
groves.  I think I'm gonna like this one.  It looked like they about sold 
out before they left (they had 3 pallets stacked 3 deep ... lots of swage 
blocks).
