New Info on Body Dies

["Gus Schlachter" <gus@xxxx>]

Thanks, Dave! That's some pretty exciting historical info there.

So, anybody here on the list a diver? :-)

Seriously, if the fish company that bought the dies has since gone
under, then aren't the pieces just so much refuse? Not that I think
they're still usable after 20 years in the water, but they'd make
great bookends.

What are those dies made of, anyway?
