Stanley Rule

[Bamacruiser98]

This Stanley 86 came into my life about 4/5 months back and I do collect certain tools but I’m not a big rule guy even though I have several that I’ve found here and there. I’d like to get this into the hands of a collector that would love to own it but Facebook marketplace is usually a waste of time and I don’t really want to set up ebay for one sale, any ideas on how to get more eyes on it?

I know nothing about rules.
Is this rule considered vintage? If it is you might try containing Josh at the link below.

Hyperkitten Tool Company- Tools For Sale

I used Josh (great guy) to sell quite a few machinist tools for me on consignment.
Don’t remember his percentage, but I was happy with my net $ selling the tools thru him.

Local FBMP and a couple visits to a Phoenix area auto swap meet were pretty much a waste of time where these tools were concerned.

How about the Classifieds here?

If that's what I think it is, be sure to describe it as "bone".

I'm interested in buying that rule.
