Description

Two rulers, each 12 inches x 1 inch with the outer side on each beveled. The rulers are hinged together in such a way that they can be moved apart and still be parallel to each other. Beside the brass fixtures there is a brass knob on each ruler. This enables the rulers to be manipulated without touching the rulers themselves. ORIGINAL INSCRIPTION: Initials "WCS" on both rulers. PERSONAL ASSOCIATIONS: This belonged to Dick Steele's grandfather, James Calvin Scott, who was lost at sea.
