Thirty blocks 0.75" x 0.5" numbered 1-30 cost £109.00 + VAT from Dauphin in 2003. They do look very smart but I agree that the unit cost is very high and it has deterred me, so far, from getting more. The Museum of the Royal Pharmaceutical Society has much larger number blocks than we do...better for visibility perhaps (ironically, in our case) but you need large cases or wide display shelves to get away with them whereas I require my number blocks to be as unobtrusive as possible.
