    Argon in GTA

    Tool post holder for sale

    Available for sale is a tool post holder. It's 4 1/4" high, with a 2 1/4 X 3/4" opening and the base is 1 3/4: square. I'm open to an offer on this part as I have no idea of it's value. This can be shipped by Canada Post for the actual cost of postage.
