This is a very nice, clean 12" shrink rule with the 9/32" to 1 Foot shrink so it is 12.156" long overall. This one is marked "THE LUFKIN RULE CO. SAGINAW MICH. MADE IN U.S.A. TEMPERED SHRINK 9/32 TO FOOT". The edges are nice and crisp, no rust, minor darkening in a few spots, very good graduation markings on both sides. There are no owner's initials or names on noted. This is a flex type steel rule, .04" thick by .95" wide. A hard to find pattern maker's tool!
