With Toad and all his trading and selling - I found these in one of my storage box's, looking for something else. You can tell I've had them for a while as the large ones are still in the old Netcraft colored envelopes. Ah the days of buying blades by the gross!!!!!! and cheap!!!!!!!!!

Size 1 and Size 6 June bug blades

Interesting blades, I'm constantly misplacing materials that I can't find when I need it but will find it later when I'm looking for something else..

Called them June bug blades back in the day . Little suckers spin like heck. They keep a tight pattern around the shaft. You can run them through stuff that normally foul a regular blade.

Doug sounds like we were on the same wave length as I dug up a bunch of red dot spinner blades the other day. Red dots were the premier blades back about 1960 they were made by the Humpy Plug company of Algona, Iowa. Have about 100 left and will use them very sparingly. They were so turning true running blades. Know where the dies and stamping machine are but to get the fellow to do the work is impossible. Worked on him for 15 years when I lived in Iowa.

Treasures that we find. That is great Fatman.

Thanks all. I've got some made up but thought I was out of them and then bingo!!!! I got a weird idea of putting one of these blades on a pony jig and see what kind of action I get out of it.
