It was actually a GM color from their fleet trucks list from the 40's. Just a number which I no longer remember.. LOL.
Thanks for the reply!

Ultramarine is a classic, it's based on a natural pigment that has been used for 4000 years.

I find both metrology and trains very fascinating. Mauzinettes are non-motorised railroad cars used by SNCF Reséau for track geometry measurement.

What comes to the avatar, I took it from a Sheldon Brown article about steel bicycle frame repairs. It's basically a homage to Rivendell Bicycle Works, an American producer of lugged steel bicycle frames.

My avatar is my makers mark (being machined) for woodworking projects.

I Designed and machined the handle the rod, and the brass blank. My buddy machined the mark into the blank with a 0.050" 2 flute in a conversational Bridgeport.

The handle is spalted hard maple.
