Enjoy this collection of 39 rulers, many of them vintage/collectibles, for your collecting, drafting, steampunk, collage, and sculpting interests. I am downsizing and passing along my ruler collection to someone who can give it more love (sniff!).
Included are:
FIRST PHOTO:
1) Dietzgen Triangular rulers, for scale drawings -- Dietzgen is a venerable old drafting/engineering brand
2) Pac-lad Rapid Rule triangular ruler
3) Keuffel & Esser wood-look plastic ruler with some writing on it, 12 inches. K&E is another old vintage drafting brand
4) National Weather Service plastic rler
5) Sears folding paper ruler -- extends to 48"
6) A classic wood ruler with a list of "Great Women Rulers of Music" on the reverse
7) Twelve-inch classic skinny metal ruler, the kind used in machine shops - LS Starrett Co of Massachusetts (fair condition, vintage)
8) JCC of Pittsburgh wooden ruler
9) Jervis Webb plastic 6 inch ruler -- old engineering firm
10) Keuffel & Esser 6 inch ruler, fair vintage condition (has masking tape on it)
11) Fafnir Ball Bearings of New Britain, CT -- classic machinist ruler, stainless steel, with fraction-decimal equivalents on the back. Would be beautiful bent into a bracelet!
12) Westcott stainless steel ruler, 6 inch, cork backing (would make a cool ruler, but you'd have to scrape off the cork)
13) Detroit Show Case Co. 6 inch plastic with compass rulings
14) A pretty ordinary plastic beveled Westcott ruler
15) C-Thru Company 6 inch ruler, never used
SECOND PHOTO:
A weird collection of Health and Human buy Services CDC rulers, picked up over the years at many conferences, featuring the department's statistical surveys. These are all heavy cardboard with plasticized surfaces. You can read the names of the surveys (National Health Interview Survey, National Survey of Family Growth, etc.) in the photos -- my favorite is the one labelled "National Death Index" and I kept one of those for myself ;). Some doubles here -- see photo.
THIRD PHOTO:
1) C-Thru Ruler Co. knitting ruler, plastic
2) C-Thru Protractor Ruler, plastic, never used
3) Darice brand -- a pink ruler for measuring cross-stitch counts on your fabric
4) Zabek Motor Sales -- an very old ruler, metal, still with a $10 price tag on the back (I got it at Massachusetts flea market)
5) M & M Roses, Israel -- paper, fair condition. Odd you'd advertise your roses with a ruler but I guess you need to define "long-stemmed".
6) General brand metal ruler, 6 inches, nice weight in the hand, would make a great bracelet
7) Plastic school notebook ruler -- teeth are designed to fit into a spiral -- fair condition
8) PLCO combined plastic ruler/page magnifier
9) Staedtler engineering ruler, 24 inch, 30 cm on reverse- bendable to measuring weird surfaces
10) Texaco wooden vintage ruler -- scored for measuring fluid levels in cars, including Model T (1926).
Remaining photos are close-ups of some of these rulers.
