[SEL] scary... you can still buy asbestos./now govern"munt".

[Richard Fink Sr]

Alan you should put them on e bay. Could get good money for them as 
antiques.  There is still a lot of uses for asbestos if you have 
common sense how to use it and cut it.  In my life time i have 
installed a hundred squares or so on houses. We cut it with a big 
machine that cut like a paper cutter did not make any dust.
