OOps I guess I didin't make myself clear...

These ARE NOT the jewelry dapping blocks, these were neat little cast iron
swages for making little spoons and stuff like that.. They were not the
finely polished jewelry making affiars that everyone wants an arms and a leg
for...I have a few of those l already and I have no desire to use a  $300.00
block for this application.

If my memory serves I think these were made in Minnesota? They were cast
iron, regular swage block type of finish...about a 8 inch cube..

Jim,

This may not be the same block you're thinking of but Laurel Machine & Foundry,
Laurel Mississippi  601-428-0541  has a smaller swage block with many swages
for spoons and ladles. I think the block weighs 60 lb and costs about $80. Give
them a call and ask for Ray Robinson. You can tell him I sent you.
