I'm still waiting on an ITM refund/response for Mitutoyo parallels dating back to Jan. Not impressed. Won't be buying anything from them again if this is the headache factor.
I'm home.
On the drive home through Chatham, I called him. I told him new ones were 180. He quickly agreed to 100. They are in reasonably good shape. Yes, as I had guessed from the photo, there is some surface rust. But I can prolly polish it out. Functionally, they are both in great shape.
I even tapped a few holes when I got home. Never loosened off once. Feel great in my hands too - even the small one.
Quite happy!
Thanks @Perry ! You made my day!
Now I need a C and a D. If they make a teeny tiny AAA, that would awesome too. Clear priority is D though.

Nice. I'm glad it worked out for you.I like spending other peoples money.
When I seen the Calgary number I thought there might be some hope for me. Time is on my side. something always comes along.
Your photo makes them look pretty good. Just like new.
You are lucky. At 77, time is not my friend anymore....... LOL!
I confess I did a bit of polishing to see how bad the rust was.
I also see I left a fingerprint on the small one. Goes to show how tiny it is. Downright cute little tool!
Enablers, all.
