Just picked up my winnings from a recent auction.

Do you bid online.
If so.
What website do you bid from?

Some nice goodies in that lot. Mold shop?

I was thinking just this morning about how rarely I see pin gauge sets above 1/2" (I'm a very boring man).

What's in the purple lined box at top, just right of centre?

Oh, and this too:

Do you bid online.
If so.
What website do you bid from?

I receive notifications of auctions through Bid Spotter (bidspotter.com) and this auction was through Infinity Asset Solutions. And yes, when I see an action in the GTA, I look through the online photos, mark the ones as favorites, and then the day of the auction I'll put in a bid. And its not like you have to stick by your computer screen. Put in your maximum bid, and the item will increase a little at a time as others bid, and if there is no more bidding, and you are highest bid, you win. Even if it doesn't reach your maximum. If that makes any sense.

I often use those pins like gauge blocks, (I.e. to determine how high I have to make a scope base to have the objective lens clear the barrel). As well as a quick and dirty way to center a hole on the mill when I don't need to bother with a dial test indicator.

I believe those items are surface finish comparators for grinding machines.

Yes, injection molding shop. That Kennedy tool box is filled with stones of every size and grit many brand new in boxes, diamond files, diamond paste in syringes, buffing bobs, etc.
