Guys,
Need some help with a recent little score.
I have had for years, (I think it was my dads') a combination square that has the looks, build, and feels of a Starrett, it has a Starrett "4R grad" rule, but there are no markings on the head to indicate model number etc.
The writing on the rule is a bit difficult to pick out, but it is there.
Recently I picked up a Starrett #12 protractor, I know this because it says so right here
And it also came with a #"4R grad rule"
In use the rule projects slightly below the bottom edge of the protractor when set parallel with the protractor.
Does this seem right? I would have thought that the rule would normally sit flush with the base of the protractor?
Also there are 2 small screws, with shoulders, that presumably at 1 stage held something on.
Did this perhaps have a level vial fitted?
Also does anyone know if there is, or should be a model number stamped on the combo square? After seeing the model on the protractor and where it is located, I have gone right around the perimeter of the combination head but cant find anything.
Cheers Phil
