45 - I have sold some on fleabay in years past and I just sent them by U'sPS.
seemed like running to the UPS pick up in our small town to get price, etc. saved very little and took my time that I could have used for better things.

Your question did bring a smile to my face. Many many years ago - like very early 1960s, Dixie Gun Works sole a straight grain hard able full stock bland for $6.00 ea. One time they evidently had an overstock on them as they put them on sale for 3 full stock blanks for $5.00. I ordered three while they were on such a "big sale". I remember well when they came in tour local PO. 2 of the blankets (cough cut) were banded together with steel bands and the third one wass by itself. The mailing labels were stapled on to the butt portion. I got some really strange looks from the clerk when I picked them up! I still have one left that I'm going to use for a chunk gun build. I laugh now at the price of them. A good deal at $2 each - now that would just about buy a cup of coffee! LOL
