Vintage 24 " Lufkin No. 85 Steel Rule Folding Blacksmith Ruler Read Text

for auction is my second vintage Lufkin 85 two foot, one fold blacksmith steel ruler.  This version does not have brass tips.  . It is a recent find I believe it is in unused condition. The edges are crisp. and the joint has great tension. This rule is not mint though. It had a bunch of lite surface rust from years of mediocre storage. I have lightly cleaned the surface rust off the ruler and there are a bunch of  staining on the metal that remain. ( see all pictures fro...nt and back )  If there is some pitting it is very minor and microscopic.  The ruler otherwise shows no user wear. The rule is straight and when it is opened it holds position well and has great tension. When fully opened straight it locks in place.  The hinge joint is very good. Please see pictures for condition. Ask questions before you bid. Buyer pays shipping with deliver confirmation usps parcel post mail. thanks for looking
I am shipping the ruler parcel post for safety, shipping first class package, it may get damaged/bent in shipping.
