Ordnance Stock No. 19-B-31000 for 1/2" diameter wire rope, 20,000 capacity, 6" sheave. They are not cheap, the original was made by Budd and of superior quality than lighter weight snatch blocks available to commercial customers. 60 years of surplus has taken a toll on the WWII GI Issue snatch block. Their equivalent sells for $250.00-$300.00 to Riggers, and are a very useful tool. It weighs around 30 lb. We are about 50 years late for any good surplus bargains on original snatch blocks.
