Lovelyearly20th Century4-fold architect'srule by one of, if not the most prolific of Englishrule makers - John Rabone & Sons of Birmingham, England. As you'd expect from Rabone, this is a quality rule.

This is the 1119 model. Apart from the model number, the rule is marked "BOXWOODRABONE MADE IN ENGLAND".

The rulecarries8 proportional scaleson the 4 bevel edges. These are Inch, 1/2 inch, 1/4, 1/8, 3/4, 3/8, 1/16ths and 3/16ths. The outer surfacesare sub-divided into 8ths,10ths and 12ths andthe inner surfaces display 16ths. Being the 1119, it has the high end edge plated joints and detailed 180 degree protractor marked hinge.

Condition: Inner surfaces are nice and bold throughout. Some fading on the outer surfaces. Check the supersize pictures for condition. Joints as firm and smooth as when made.No previous owners' initials. Fits together nice and tight, although no holding pins remain.

As with all my items, this will be securely wrapped to get to you in the present condition.

I always try to post at or below cost, and Iwill always offer a combined shipping discount on multiple purchases.
