Ivory Rules

>Howdy Folks,

Is there a web site reference for the value of Ivory Rules? I just found a new little tool shop and the proprietor showed me more Ivory rules than I've ever seen in my life in one place. They included architect scales, nautical rules, as well as the carpenter folding rules. Most of them were yellowed, but there were a couple that looked mint with almost indiscernible coloring. I'm particularly interested in the architect scale, about 6" lomg by about 2" or so wide with the scales on one side and protractor scales on the other.

Thanks, Mike G.

one resource....

In my Dad's factory, the clocks were triangular and there were always lots on hand and used liberally.

Cheers, Garrett
