Rahn in Dayton, OH also made the advertising granite plates. It measures 3" x 2" x1". I have one still in the cellophane wrapper and gave another one I had to our favorite miniature maker when he visited.

Granite 1-2-3 blocks ! Cool. I'd probably buy a pair just for fun, if they were reasonable. Do they still make them ?

I was thinking about making a few of these with an inserted steel plate for a mag base to attach an indicator. Would be handy for some grinding ops on a mag chuck for sure.

Standridge does have a complete price list online, which you can download without providing their sales and marketing guys any data. It's just separate from their web catalog.

American companies haven't got a clue. Or a chance in a globalized world. Kind of sad.

Some time ago I took a scraping class from Forest Addy and Don Roberts. They gave me a tiny (3x5"?) cast iron surface plate. I scraped it in and now it's the cutest little thing. Occasionally handy too.
