Title: Maker of German folding ruler
Post by: Tool Pants on February 27, 2012, 04:12:26 PM

$3 at the flea to go with my Lufkin collection.

I can't do any better with pictures, as this is after Evapo-Rust and steel wool.

I can make out JORO and then there is too much rust to read the rest of the letters.  To the right is something I cannot make out, but is ends in ING.  To the right of that is WARRANTIED.

Under JORO is Germany.

Very good.  With the name I was able to find this picture on the net.  Wish mine looked as good.

Jordan Finest Spring Steel.

I would guess this was made prior to WWII.
