Description

6-inch boxwood scale, marked top and bottom with many different types of scales. Note: There is tape wrapped around the scale in three places. Most likely this is due to: “Putting a piece of tape at a specific dimension allows the user to quickly plot recurring distances without re-reading the fine hash marks every time”.
