I took some other photos when I did the zig zags the other day.  My room is getting very crowded, but here are some pics of some of my larger, longer rules, and my skirt markers collection.  There is also a braille ruler, which is one of my favorites.

All you need now are lots of things to measure.

That is an impressive collection WV, thanks for posting the pics!


Err, photo #9........is that a braille scale????

Yes, that is the braille ruler that I mentioned in the original post.  As I said before, it is one of my favorites. 

Another one of my favorites is in the zig zag thread, photo 7.  It is a Lufkin zig zag extension rule (like an X46) that is 14.5 or 15 feet long.  It goes 0 to 6, 0 to 6, and then 0 to 2.5 or 3.  The joints look factory.  All I can figure out is that it was for someone doing repeated measurements at the long end of the rule (14.5 to 15 feet), like a commercial garage door installer.  I bought it on Ebay about 17 or 18 years ago, and paid quite a bit for it.
