That is quite strange --- ! I think they do the graduations by an etching process, likely also the figures and other markings.

Exactly!
Sell it on ebay as rare one of a kind!
Try sending Starrett an email & see what they say. Perhaps they might send you a replacement? But if they ask for the old one back I would refuse but that's just me.
That's rather odd. The numbers run left to right when oriented vertically for all metric graduation styles in their catalog except for 35 and 35E, which are only available on the wider rigid rules.

I did contact Starrett & was told that their warranty is only good for a year-grin. They did not think that they would have any history about a batch of scales getting engraved incorrectly. Yes I do want to keep the old one.Exactly!
