•   Wow, that is a rare one.  I was just perusing the Jensen Museum
  last night, and the 'Forgotten #35'  is one whose story caught
  my attention.  Congratulations on a good catch.

  Doesn't Jensen still offer those. Awhile back I bought some through Dorita, even a long one for some projects.

  These are quite a bit different from the 50's  blocks, there isn't a hollow screw on these (IE banjo screw) ,this screw would be solid with a side port around the screw to allow steam through. A special type block.
