Gunters' slid
e.   Plus, this rule is loaded with Engineer's Tables for making all kinds of calculations.  I rate this ruler in
GOOD + CONDITION
overall.  It has both alignment pins and folds up nice and tight.   There is some silver metal applied by the main hinge which does not affect functionality of the rule.  Also, there is a small hole on one of the legs (see pictures).  Still, most all of the numbers and markings are clear and easy to read.   The brass Gunter's slide works great.   A nice example of an uncommon Stanley two-fold rule for you to add to your antique measuring tool collection!
If you have any questions regarding this item, please ask me prior to bidding. In the next few weeks, I will be selling folding rules made by Stanley, Lufkin, H. Chapin, Stephens, Rabone, Upson Nut, and others, so if you like folding rulers, please take a second to take a look at my other auctions.
Thanks For Your Interest & Good Luck!!!
