    Driving me Crazy. WHAT IS IT? Got this 6" X 1. 5/8" wooden measuring sort of stick about 1/16 inch thick. Smooth and has numbers, squares, angle lines on both sides. The only thing that is not numbers is a C M O in one corner of this odd little thing.
    Got in Estate Box. Just want to Know Whate it is & a potential Date for the darn thing.
    Much Thanks. sshumes@att.net

      Looks like an architects scale, the side with the angle lines would be for radians, and the other side appears to be in inches and other mixed measurements. My son will know better, He's a draftsman so I'll ask him. I'll be back !

      Chech with your local college's Drafting and Design Dept. It looks like a Draftsmans Ruler, bt that;s just my guess.
