    Here are two oldish (1950's-60's?) wooden rulers. The smaller is 12" (35cm) long and is unmarked otherwise, it also features a protractor/angle gauge on its backside. The larger is 18" long, marked as made by "Strateline" (in U.S.A.) and actually has a small greenish plastic (?) 'edge' to its tapered and graduated side, presumably to allow it to better actually draw straight lines...there's nothing at all on its backside.

      I love the old wood rulers too! I always used that plastic "edge" (some are metal), to cleanly cut paper!! May not be what it was designed for, but it works for me!!
