      It's a carpenters folding ruler. Look on the face of it, it should have a company name.

      Is there a mfg. name on it?
      It wouldn't have been used for general carpentry work, to short for that.
      They work great for small detail work, my father used these when he did Fretwork as a young man in the 30's.
