Righto Destry, except up here you can still get them. I've stocked up on them from a small hardware here that carries all sorts of stuff you'll never find at Home Depot. When was the last time you saw the brown okum used to pack cast iron sewer pipe before you poured molten lead in to seal the joints, and sold by the pound from a bulk box??? They are the only place even in Fairbanks that carries the demon "strike anywhere" matches. I think I'll go buy another 6 boxes just because I can. We love this hardware. They're even a Starrett outlet and have a cabinet full of goodies. I'd love one of those Parker safes for the wall...
