Very rare 1 piece Lufkin solid wood industrial ruler brass end caps 6 feet long
With brass end caps. Truly an unusual and classic beauty. Be aware that one of the sides, the inches-only side, is overall darker and more discolored from use than the other. Numerals are done in turn-of-the-20th-century font, look etched into the wood, and measure both in inches and feet on one side, in inches only on the other, by marks made along and to both edges of each side of the rule. This is a very cool piece, if not one-of-a-kind than surely one-of-a-few, not many of which can have survived notwithstanding the flexibility of the wood. Pictures were taken in cloudy natural light, with one taken indoors under halogen light. The brass end caps have NOT been polished. Also, there is a small piece of masking tape still adhering next to the brass end cap and the one hole as shown in the photographs; the hole is at the one-inch mark and looks to be original. Please see my photographs as they complete the description of this rule.

Very rare Georgian Arch Joint Sector Rule Ruler by W&S Jones London
Here is a superb example of a Georgian Arch Joint Sector made by W&S Jones of Holborn London. Arch Joint Sectors were superceeded by Plain Joint examples in the first quarter of the 19th century, having themselves superceeded the Full Brass Sectors in around the 3rd quarter of the 18th century. This Sector is notable for having 4 more scales than the Plain Joint Sectors, which are Line of Meridian, Line of Chords, Latitude and Hour. All of which have been beautifully engraved onto the brass along side the beautiful engraving of the makers name on the opposite side. The brass is unpolished and has a lovely patina to suit the age of this rule, it holds its position well when opened or closed and has a smooth action. It has one crack around the closing pin (which can be clearly seen in photo #11) but it is not a complete crack. Aside from this, it has the general small wear associated with used objects over 170 years old. Please study the photos as they form an integral part of the item’s description. This Sector measures 6 inches when closed and 12 inches when fully opened. If you require any further information or photos on this item, please feel free to ask.
